First Place in Post Graduate - Dog, Judge: Mrs Marion Reeves
Though pleased with my winners, depth of quality within the entry was mostly lacking. It is fair to say that Border Terriers still come in every size and shape imaginable. Though I am aware that it is a matter that sharply divides opinion within the breed, I for one would prefer the breed standard to be more specific in detail of what is desirable. Maybe, perhaps that might head to a more uniform type in the show ring.
g/t. Very pleasing outline and narrow all through. Easily spanned with moderately sprung ribs of good length. Liked his head qualities, moderately broad in skull and short strong muzzle. Good shoulder placement and well angulated quarters. Moves soundly all round
