Yorks, Lancs & Cheshire Border Terrier Club Championship Show (26-09-2009)

Second Place in Puppy - Dog, Judge: Mrs E Cuthbertson (Ashbrae)

Show Critique:

My thanks to the Committee for my appointment. To my ring stewards K Green & A. Harris, and to the exhibitors for the nice entry of 200 exhibits. I was sorry Gordon and Cynthia Knight could not be present due to family illness.
I did find a lot of variation between type, and size making judging very interesting. Some heads lacked strength of muzzle and heavy shoulders were very the much in evidence. I was concerned that a number were overweight and heavy, not as fit as they should be.
Saying that I was very pleased with my placings, class and top award winners.

Placing Critique:

very fit active dog, strong head with keen expression. Good in rib and coat. Excellent condition with good muscle tone.
