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

Second Place in Junior - 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:

16 months old, larger build than 1, nice head with good bite and slightly shorter muzzle. Straight front, good shoulders flowing into level topline with nice tailset. Good thick pelt and dense undercoat but lacking a bit of topcoat today.
