Reserve in Veteran - Dog or Bitch, Judge: Mr Karl-Erik Johansson

Show Critique:

I was most happy with such a good entry on this my first CC-appointment having had close contact with breed since the early 70s.
Overall size was excellent as was temperament. I was able to span almost everyone although I had hoped for more typical otter-heads. There were some long and narrow muzzles. Bites were excellent and Pelts mostly good for the season.
Conformation and movement coming and going was very good. Maybe I am a bit more concerned about side movement as some who was excellent standing lost the topline on the move.

Class Critique:

The border terrier is famous for long and healthy life and it was nice to see so many veterans in good condition.
