First Place in Open - Bitch, 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.
I last judged this bitch as a puppy, and she has matured into a stunner! A very sound bitch, lovely otter head, dark eye, neat ears. Strong jaw and teeth. Good reach of neck, lay of shoulder, neat, tight feet. Narrow and spannable, with a super turn of stifle. Moved very well, driving from behind, so lacking in todays dogs. A lovely bitch. BB, BIS.
