First Place in Open, Judge: Mrs Sandra Girling (Benattivo)
Many thanks to the Society for the kind invitation to judge and also to the exhibitors who trusted me with their lovely Border Terriers. My steward was friendly and efficient.
Grizzle & Tan male with an attractive otter like head, neat ear lying close to his cheek, short strong muzzle and good teeth. Nice length of neck into correct shoulder and straight top line, ribbed well back and carrot like tail well set. He had a deep double coat on a thick loose pelt and was easily spanned. His good construction allows him to move well. An unexaggerated border with lots of quality. Delighted to award him my Best of Breed.
