First Place in Special Open Working Dog or Bitch, Judge: Mrs Chris Davis (Hesselemere)
Firstly my thanks to the Committee of Southern Border Terrier Club for the invitation to judge their show this year. I thoroughly enjoyed my day. It was lovely to see such a good bunch of Borders as I have not been around any shows of late due to other commitments. The quality was excellent; I was really pleased with both my line ups, but particularly the males. Size was very pleasing, as was condition, well muscled animals that could do a day’s work. Temperaments were excellent too. The breed is ‘looking good’.
What a dog! Stood alone but that didn’t matter. Super coat and pelt. Lovely size. Great feet. Shoulder, topline and tailset excellent. Head and expression superb. Well muscled dog that could work all day. Epitomises the breed. All dog. BD BIS
