The Border Terrier Club Open Show (20-10-2012)

Second Place in Maiden - Bitch, Judge: Miss Anita Harrison (Iacheslei)

Show Critique:

This was my first breed club show appointment and I must thank the exhibitors for their support and the sporting way in which they accepted my decisions. The show was extremely well organised, with a very pleasant atmosphere. I was given a warm welcome and generous hospitality, together with two very efficient ring stewards; Janice Johnson and Liz Barrett, who kept everything running smoothly throughout the day.
There were some good quality dogs, and a few classes where I wish there had been more prizes. Coats were variable which sadly had to affect the placings in some classes. Some exhibits were on the large side and barely spannable, plus a few short ribs and barrel chests. All dogs were entire and all mouths were good barring a couple of missing teeth in the veteran class.

Placing Critique:

reserve in Junior, 15 month grizzle of good size, slightly shorter and deeper than 1.
