First Place in Novice - Dog, Judge: Mrs. Joyce Martin (Merumhor)
I would like to thank the Northern Border Terrier Club for their kind invitation to judge at this show, my first breed club appointment. I was well looked after by the committee and their hospitality was wonderful. I would like to thank my 2 ring stewards – Tracy Peacock and Allen Horner – who were very efficient in keeping me right and kept everything running smoothly. It was a great privilege for me to have such an excellent entry and of such good quality to go over. Thank you to all those who gave me this opportunity and for taking my decisions so sportingly.
This blue and tan 17 month old youngster was presented in a super harsh jacket with good ticking and plenty of loose pelt. He has a strong head with flat skull and strong muzzle with big teeth and he has a keen expression. He has a good straight front and a long body with a racy outline. He moved well with a good stride and drive.
