Second Place in Post Graduate - 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.
2 year old g/t bitch. Another nice head with flat skull with pleasing little stop and neat ears, a strong muzzle that is a tad longer than winner, with a keen expression. She has a good topline, ribs well laid back and narrow throughout. She has catlike feet and slightly racier than winner but another that is a handy size. She was shown in a super harsh coat with plenty of pliable pelt. She moved well.
