Scottish Kennel Club (27-08-2016)

First Place in Limit - Bitch, Judge: Professor A S Milton

Show Critique:

It was a pleasure to come back to Scotland, even though for just a day, and to judge Border Terriers at the Scottish Kennel Club’s August Show. Looking at the catalogue I was surprised to find that Border Terriers had the fourth largest entry at the show. It was a very satisfactory entry, with many dogs that I had not seen before. I was particularly impressed with the overall quality of the coats. There was only one really bad mouth, a few crooked teeth, so what, as long as they can bite! I was concerned about size, not only those outwith the standard, but also even more worrying, those that I could not span. I should like to thank Joyce Martin for sending me a CD with photos of all the class winners.

Placing Critique:

BCC. I liked this bitch, there was something of quality about her. True otter head. Good reach of neck leading into level topline with correct tail set Good front and excellent hind leg angulation. Good on the move.
