Second Place in Graduate - 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 in full coat which looked just about to blow but had good harsh texture, pelt a bit thin. Difficult to span and shorter in body than the winner. Has a strong head with a keen expression; good mover.
