First Place in Open - Dog, Judge: Mrs Joyce Martin (Merumhor)
I would like to thank the Midland Border Terrier Club for their invitation to judge this show. It was a great privilege to be asked and I would like to thank my two ring stewards Jem Thomas and Richard Wright for keeping everything moving smoothly for me throughout the day.
A smart blue and tan dog who caught my eye when he came into the ring. He has a super otter head with broad skull and keen expression and a short, strong muzzle. He has good reach of neck which flows in to a lovely topline and tail set. He has a good turn of stifle and completes the picture. He has the neatest of feet and was presented beautifully in a super harsh double jacket. He moved soundly round the ring with real show presence. BIS
