Show Critique:

What a lovely day, no rain in sight!!
Thank you to all the exhibitors and especially my steward Alisan, she was excellent at her job. I enjoyed judging many dogs that I had not be over or seen before. Many dogs had little or no coat at all, Border Terriers must have a harsh double coat when showing not just stripped out and in their under coat, also there was hardly any muscle tone, no level backs, no slim straight narrow fronts and the movement should of been better. In a few of the older classes I could not span a few dogs and they were heavy when I lifted them up off the table, I found all the mouths clean with full dentations and I placed those that were nearest the standard in each class. Very pleased with both dog and bitch winners and their reserves and best puppy.

Placing Critique:

light grizzle, very nice coat , good strong dog, big boned maybe too much, movement was true front and rear.
