Border Terrier Club Open Show (31-10-2009)

Second Place in Minor Puppy - Dog, Judge: Mrs. Karen Dean (Tyrian)

Show Critique:

I would first like to thank the committee for the invitation to judge, and to them and my stewards, Frank Nicholls and Paul Cheeseman for looking after me so well on the day, and lastly to all those who exhibited and accepted my decisions so graciously. It was a long, exhausting but very enjoyable day for me. I absolutely loved my best dog, best bitch and best puppy, they were all lovely and narrow, well balanced with small tight feet, sound movement and not overdone in any way. I would take any of them home in a heartbeat.

Placing Critique:

6 months old, still very much a baby and it showed, he was a little unsure of himself in the ring. Good head, short muzzle with good bite but preferred the strength of muzzle of 1, smaller in ear, straight front and good thick carrot tail. Movement could improve with the muscle development of maturity. Won over 3 on topline and hind angulation
