Bournemouth Championship Show (10-08-2009)

Second Place in Puppy - Bitch, Judge: Mrs Margaret Sneddon (Kersfell)

Show Critique:

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.

Placing Critique:

blue and tan with a harsh coat and thick pelt, lovely otter head; good conformation and with a very good front. Good mover, free striding covering the ground with ease. Another promising puppy, close decision between the first two in this class.
