Best Puppy, Judge: Anne Speake (Dogs) & Lucy Mudd (Bitches)
I would like to thank the officers and committee for the invitation to judge the Border Terrier dogs, with my co judge, Lucy Mudd. The hospitality received was much appreciated, and the day was very enjoyable. It was lovely to see such a good entry for the show as a whole and thanks to the stewards who kept things moving along nicely. My thanks to the exhibitors, who did me the honour and privilege of going over their dogs and accepting my decisions in a sporting manner. Anne Speake, Dog Judge
Nice sized grizzle and tan puppy bitch, just 6 months old and at her first show. Still a raw baby, but lots to like, pretty feminine head with the sweetest of expressions. Dark eye, scissor bite, nice reach of neck, spanned well and I liked her outline. Once she settled on the move, she did enough to secure her BPIB. Later I was delighted to see her awarded third in the puppy group, from terrier specialist Eileen Foy.
