First Place in Minor Puppy - Dog, Judge: Mrs Eileen Needham (Titanium)
I should like to thank Richmond committee for my invitation to judge Border Terriers. It is quite a while since I judged the breed and so came to it today with a very open mind. I thoroughly enjoyed my day, with the opportunity of going over some very lovely dogs. I had plenty of choice in choosing my winners, and I would thank the exhibitors for bringing their dogs and receiving my decisions sportingly. My Stewards were excellent, keeping everything moving like clockwork.
Two pups at very different stages of development in this class,
almost 9 mths. old, quite liked this one, the least mature of the two and without benefit of a full jacket, quite nice head, good mouth, well proportioned body construction, good front but a bit overdone in hind angulation, I felt, at this stage of growth.
