The Northern Border Terrier Club Championship Show (18-07-2015)

Second Place in Special Beginners - Bitch, Judge: Mrs Hilary Gilpin (Otterbobs)

Show Critique:

Thank you to the officers, committee and members for voting for me to judge their Championship show 2015.
My stewards were just perfect, even the couple of birds flying around enjoyed the day.
As you know it’s all too easy to judge from the ringside but when you are in the ring judging dogs of varying sizes, heads, coats etc, I felt I did the best I could with the exhibits shown.
All dogs were entire, mouths were correct and teeth were of good size and clean apart from one level bite which is acceptable.
Movement needs to be improved front and rear, muscle tone was lacking in quite a few, presentation on some was dreadful, two dogs needed feeding up, but the main winners were of good standing.

Placing Critique:

unplaced in Junior class, bl/tan bitch with a gd quality coat plenty of ticking, her strong upper arms making her a little bit wide in front.
