Second Place in Open - 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.
although a different type to winner this one had plenty of appeal for me, close up but lost out on coat quality as he was still waiting for a new jacket, good headed with well constructed body with good angulation, neck, topline & tailset all pleasing and in balance, moved well. RCC.
