First Place in Open - Dog, Judge: Mrs M Wanless (Thorneyburn)
It was a great honour to judge my first breed club show here, at Otterburn, heart of the country where the Border terrier originated. My thanks to the Club, and to all entrants. I enjoyed my day, and was very pleased with my final line up.
A dog I have always liked, and he didn’t disappoint today. A nice size, good head, dark eye, correct bite, strong jaw and big teeth. Well placed ears, good reach of neck. Excellent shoulder and good front. Tight feet. Nice length, good topline and tailset, moved well and with drive. Fulfilled the Standard for me! BD, BOS, RBIS.
