First Place in Puppy - Dog, Judge: Mrs Margaret Sneddon (Kersfell)
Thank you to my very efficient stewards. I think we have a real problem with the front construction and movement in the breed; there were far too many exhibits with short, steep upper arms, often resulting in a build up of bulky muscle on the outer line of the shoulder and the movement in front on many was very poor. The Border is ?essentially a working terrier and this type of construction will seriously compromise its ability to work.
dark grizzle leggy youngster, old-fashioned style of head with a flat, refined, skull and keen eye, strong jaw if a little long in muzzle. Has a nice length of neck flowing into well-laid shoulders, one of the few with correct front construction resulting in a lovely straight front; good coat and pelt, moved with drive from hindquarters and correct front movement.
