First Place in Open - 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.
Wow! what a dog. I love everything about this red grizzle boy. he is so fit masculine & full of breed type.it is impossible to look past him. He was shown in the peak of condition,super harsh coat with good pelt, he has good length of neck, running into clean shoulders a straight front, well muscled body, good hindquarters. A true showman who finds it hard to put a foot wrong, he moves effortlessly and with drive.I was pleased to give him the class, CC, BOB and then delighted to watch him take the Terrier Group.
