First Place in Limit - Dog, Judge: Mr. J. Todd (Roxess)
I would like to express my thanks to the officers and committee of The Northern Border Terrier club for the invitation to judge my first Breed Club show and also acknowledge the help and assistance in the ring by my stewards Ann Maltby and Scott Cranson.
I thoroughly enjoyed my day and would like to thank the exhibitors for providing me with the opportunity to go over so many quality dogs.
I found the majority to be in good fit condition and in good coat. There was a variation in head type but most fit the standard in my interpretation.
Mouths were generally good with only a couple with an acceptable level bite. In some presentation could have been better with a few having untidy feet. I was impressed with both line ups and some decisions were very close.
This is one I have admired previously what a pleasure to go over. He was presented in great condition with a rich red harsh coat. Is narrow right through with correct angulation both front and rear. Has a beautiful head with correct bite and large clean teeth and an expression to die for. He covered the ground well with great forward reach and drive from behind. I’d have happily taken him home with me, pleased to award him BD & BIS
