Scottish Border Terrier Club Championship Show (08-11-2014)

First Place in Special Beginners - Bitch, Judge: Mrs P McLellan (Breconbeds)

Show Critique:

My thanks to the Scottish Committee for the invitation to judge our prestigious annual Championship Show; to my excellent steward Joyce Orr, and to the exhibitors for such a good entry.
I was happy with my class winners which were super examples of the breed. On the down side a number of exhibits were short in the leg and in the body, giving an unbalanced appearance and it’s very unlikely that they would be capable of following a horse, as the breed standard requires. Some pelts were too thin and too many dogs were single coated.

Placing Critique:

Grizzle bitch in decent coat. OK for size. Head not the strongest – would like to have had more fill under the eyes.
