Second Place in Junior - Bitch, Judge: Mrs. Joyce Martin (Merumhor)
I would like to thank the Border terrier Club for the invitation to judge at the Open Show at Low Hesket. It was an honour and privilege to be offered this appointment. I was delighted with the super entry of 96 dogs making a total entry of 132 and appreciate the turnout of so many fine dogs on the day and the sporting way my decisions were taken. Thank you to my ring stewards Ken McKenzie and Dave Hodgson for keeping everything running smoothly for me. Also thank you to the committee for their hospitality and to Jane Shaw for providing a lovely lunch which I enjoyed very much.
15 month old g/t bitch who has a lovely strong head with short muzzle and dark eye which gave her a keen expression. She is a typical border who is not as showy as some but lots to like about her. She was shown in full coat with lots of loose pelt underneath which made her look heavier than she really is. She had tidy feet and a short carroty tail. Did not move as well as my winner.
