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

First Place in Puppy - Bitch, 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:

11 months old, sweet feminine head with short muzzle and good bite, good length of neck into well laid shoulders, nice tight feet and level topline held well on the move. Super double coat and thick loose pelt, thick carrot tail well set on. Moved well with good drive and balance. Preferred tight feet and topline on the move over 2.
