First Place in Open - Dog, Judge: Mrs Karen Dean (Tyrian)
I would first like to thank the society for inviting me to judge at this level for the first time, and my stewards for keeping me on track. Special thanks to the Border Terrier Club of Victoria, Australia and their secretary Denise Worthington for presenting a special sash to the Best of Breed winner providing a welcome highlight at the end of judging.
Good head, straight front with well laid shoulders. Easily spannable, well ribbed back with strong loin. Narrow throughout with harsh double coat and thick pelt. Nice thick carrot tail well set on. Level topline held on the move. Moved soundly. Well balanced dog. Splitting hairs between these two but I felt this one just had the edge on coat today. CC.
