First Place in Veteran - Dog or Bitch, Judge: Miss Elspeth Jackson (Clipstone)
What an honour and a pleasure it was to judge the Northern Border Terrier Club’s Championship Show. An entry of 202 and good Northern hospitality ensured I had a most enjoyable day. Many thanks to my capable stewards for keeping the day running smoothly.
I was very satisfied with both my challenges and all the top honours were strongly contested. I was especially pleased with my puppies and will watch their progress with interest.
The veterans are always my favourite class of any judging appointment and today’s crop of veterans did not disappoint.
A few grey whiskers did not detract from this typy dog with a lovely masculine head with a keen expression and strong muzzle. Well muscled strong quarters, good top line finish by a well set on carroty tail. In the challenge his overall type stood out for him to take the Reserve Dog CC.
