First Place in Minor Puppy - Dog, Judge: Mrs Su Williams (Hollybridge)
I would like to thank the exhibitors for super entry, it was an honour to go over so many excellent quality border terriers . I had some close decisions in many classes and some quality dogs had to go cardless. Overall I was impressed with the standard of both dogs/bitches and with the condition of them. Almost all were in fit condition with muscle tone,spanning wasn’t an issue I’m pleased to say. Which means the breed is in a good way.. Mouths too on the whole were correct with many having good sized and clean teeth. .While coats are of course transient, texture was very good and the vast majority had good thick and loose pelts.
Last but not least Huge Thanks must go to my very capable & experienced Stewards who made my day so much easier.
Eye catching 8mth old Red Grizzle ,What a super head and keen expression this young boy has, lovely dark eye & good ear placement. Good topline,ribs & shoulders.A little short of coat today but super thick loose pelt. He covered the ground well with drive, he has true movement when he settles & he did play his handler up a tad but that is what puppies do. He is one I will watch for in the future.
