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

Second Place in Post Graduate - 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:

22 months old. More feminine head with good bite though slightly heavier in ear than 1. Well angulated with super topline and thick tail well set on. Super harsh coat but on its way out so a bit short of undercoat. Moved with drive but preferred the front movement of 1. Won over 3, also a lovely bitch, on hind movement.
