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

Second Place in Post Graduate - 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:

2 years old, smaller type than 1, flat skull, strong muzzle with good bite, straight front, well laid shoulders and well ribbed back. Good double coat but would like a better pelt. Better hind angulation but didn?t use it so well on the move.
