The Yorkshire, Lancashire & Cheshire Border Terrier Club Open Show (04-02-2018)

First Place in Open - Bitch, Judge: Mr. J. Todd (Roxess)

Show Critique:

I would like to thank the club for the invitation to judge and the hospitality I received. Thanks also to my steward Mr Ian Hopper for his great assistance. Finally thank you to the exhibitors for giving me the opportunity to go over their dogs. I really enjoyed my day.

I was impressed with the quality of the majority of dogs present and although some were top size all placed dogs were easily spanned and had correct bite.. I felt overall movement was good, coats were variable some full and some lacking however in the run up to Crufts this is to be expected. The majority had good pelts which was pleasing. Mouths were generally good most with large teeth but I was disappointed to see many with dirty teeth.

Placing Critique:

stood alone presented in good coat of dense harsh texture, head ok but lacks depth of muzzle, moved ok.
