First Place in Junior - Dog
I would like to thank the officers and committee for the invitation to judge the Border terrier bitches, with my co judge, Bridget Singh. The hospitality received was much appreciated, and the day was one I really enjoyed. It was lovely to see such a good entry for the show as a whole, and that the borders had attracted the largest entry in the terrier group, my thanks to our two capable stewards, who kept things moving along nicely. Thanks also to the exhibitors who did me the honour and privilege of going over their bitches and accepting my decisions in a sporting manner. All exhibits were of good quality and fit for purpose and I was delighted with my entry. Bridget and I agreed on the bitches for BOB and BPIB.
7 month old dark grizzle & tan with a lovely head and expression, has a lovely rib, in good harsh double jacket and loose pelt. Easily spanned, moved a little loosely coming. In the challenge, he moved better once settled, but not as positively as the bitch.
