First Place in Mid Limit - Bitch, Judge: Miss T James (Blackmine)
I was honoured to be invited to judge at the Scottish Border Terrier Club and I thoroughly enjoyed my day. It was concerning that there were a large proportion of exhibits with poor front movement. The other area which I thought needed attention was heads – many lacked strength in foreface. On the positive side all the dogs had good temperaments, were clean and trimmed up to a good standard. Coats were all at various stages (as usual) but I found very few single coated exhibits. It was also pleasing to see so many neat cat-like feet. I felt that the quality of the bitches out-weighed that of the dogs.
2 nice bitches of similar size.
good head with broad skull and short strong muzzle. Good bone, neat feet, good upperarm angulation, easily spanned, ribbed well back. Moved very well with good drive from behind. Would prefer her a size bigger.
