First Place in Limit - Dog, Judge: Mrs Jena Tuck (Nettleby)
I would like to thank the Committee of the Yorkshire, Lancashire and Cheshire Border Terrier Club for inviting me to judge this very enjoyable and well run show. It was an honour and pleasure. In the ring I was very ably assisted by my two capable stewards Ian and Bridget, who I would like to thank. The hospitality of the Club was second to none I had a truly wonderful day. Thanks must go to the exhibitors, who allowed me to go over their dogs. The depth of quality was remarkable and some very good exhibits had to go cardless I was delighted by my main winners, thank you again for giving me the pleasure of judging them. I chose the dog as BIS because he had that extra attitude and showmanship.
A quality class of dogs, very close decision between the top three.
A very typical dog, with a super head, massive teeth in a strong jaw. Good front and hind angulation, very good topline and tailset, in superb coat and pelt, an easy span. Moved well, with drive. In the final decision just preferred the overall length and balance of the CC and RCC winner. A close call.
