Second Place in Veteran - Dog or 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 was shown in one of the harshests of coats today, plenty of it with plenty of loose pelt. Like the winner he has a super head that is typical of the breed. Another 8 year old, he is of good body length and in fit condition. He moved soundly round the ring and his tail never stopped wagging!
