First Place in Puppy - Bitch, 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 dark grizzle and tan puppy is almost 1 year old, litter sister to my 1st placed puppy dog winner. She is a very similar type shown in a super harsh full coat with plenty of pelt. She has a good head not quite the strength of muzzle as her brother. She has a lovely dark eye and good expression. She has a good narrow straight front and has a lovely top line which she carried well on the move and her tail wagged all the time enjoying her day in the ring. She has a good length of body and is a racy type. Moved soundly.
