Show Critique:

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.

Class Critique:

Super class of young dogs full of breed type.

Placing Critique:

Super balanced grizzle & tan dog, masculine without any sign of coarseness, I liked his head and keen expression. very typey with good harsh coat & pelt. He was fit as a butchers dog!Well laid back shoulder into clean neck & good length of rib, he moved out well fore & aft, moving with drive and looking the part. Pleased to award him Res CC.
