Second Place in Novice - Bitch, 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.
leggy grizzle with a good length of body and lovely racy outline; straight, narrow front and a strong head; coat just starting to blow. Moved well when she settled down, she seemed to be really enjoying her outing.
