First Place in Yearling - Bitch, 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. Presented to perfection, lovely neck, shoulder and topline, harsh coat and thick pelt. Typical ottery head and excellent expression. Straight and true all round on the move, a narrower front would complete the picture
