First Place in Junior - 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.
Strong Class
promising young grizzle with an excellent coat and pelt; handy size, easy to span, good neck and shoulders; lovely head and expression, big teeth with correct bite. Excellent mover, really strides out round the ring. In close contention for the RCC but just seemed to flag in the challenge.
