First Place in Post Graduate - Dog, Judge: Mrs Su Williams (Hollybridge)

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.

Placing Critique:

Super fit and eye catching Red grizzle dog. Loved his head and expression. He has so much breed type and moves out with drive and without effort, masculine & balanced. He was a little short of coat on the day but I did consider him in the challenge.
