First Place in Limit - Bitch, Judge: Mrs K M Irving (Dandyhow)
In my view the breed still has problems with movement, particularly front movement. Hind action in bitches was also poor on this occasion. There was some variation in coats and some were shown without much jacket but others were somewhat blown in coat. However there were several with excellent coats and pelts – such an important feature of the breed. Dentition and temperaments were very good.
Because I don’t enjoy judging, and quite frankly never have, I decided before this appointment that is would be my last judging assignment. I hope that more younger Border Terrier enthusiasts will come forward as judges to ensure the successful future of the breed.
a typey bitch which moves very soundly in front and behind. Good Border head and expression without being overdone in any way. Has an excellent coat of good texture. She is good in outline and has a good tailset and correctly shaped tail. Good size and well proportioned. It was her movement and soundness in front and behind which took her to the BCC position today.
