Bournemouth Championship Show (10-08-2009)

First Place in Junior - 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.

Class Critique:

A very close decision between the first two in this class.

Placing Critique:

handy size light grizzle with a good head and expression, in very good fettle with an excellent coat and pelt; narrow front, good legs and feet, moved really well.
