First Place in Limit - Dog, Judge: Mrs. Nancy Hogg (Raeburnfoot)
Thank you for inviting me to judge this show. If my memory serves me correctly this was the very first Border Terrier show I exhibited at……30 years ago.
It really was a pleasure to go over so many good examples of the breed. Coats were at various stages and some paid the penalty with either little top coat or totally blown. Mouths were good. Some movement, especially front. Not so good. Size was better than I have seen in the past. Temperament on every exhibit was really good I am pleased to say. No noise from the cage area either that I was aware of. I was delighted with my main winners.
Special thanks must go to my very able steward and to the kitchen ladies for a lovely meal and coffee.
Border Terrier with attitude ! Just right for size Very smart in profile. Typical head. Flat skull. Short, strong muzzle. Pleasing in shoulder and topline. Strong in loin. Well set on carrot tail. Neat feet. Moved soundly front and rear. Ears have a tendency to fly on the move. RCC.
