Northern Border Terrier Club Open Show (20-04-2013)

First Place in Post Graduate - Dog, Judge: Mr. Mark Ord (Marnadee)

Show Critique:

It was a great pleasure to be invited to judge this show and I wish to thank the committee for their great hospitality, a superb home cooked lunch and pleasant show. The gift was lovely and will be treasured. Special thanks to my stewards today Allen Horner & Norma Todd.
I was pleased with my overall entry of dogs and glad to see size is becoming more uniform with not so many oversized dogs. Mouths & tails were better than they have been but feel front movement needs watching, as does the loose pelt. I was able to span most exhibits. Thank you to the exhibitors who gave me the privilege to go over their dogs and accepting my decisions on the day in a sporting manner.

Placing Critique:

Racy quarters, tail well set and of good shape. Double coat and thick loose pelt, won over 2 on head & expression
