First Place in Special Yearling, Judge: Tracey Anscombe (Orangebox)
Thank you for the invitation to judge your border terrier classes. The location is very picture postcard. My two lady stewards were simply wonderful, thank you. I had a lovely entry of quality dogs with some very close decisions Coats were at differing stages which did play its part. I had no bad mouths or kinked tails and all dogs were entire.
RBOB Dark grizzle dog in the best if coats with harsh texture and dense undercoat Spanned well and he flows from head to tail. He moved OK in the class but a little unsettled. In the challenge he moved with more drive and a good tracking motion which pipped him to RBOB over the 2nd in Open. I liked his head and expression.
