First Place in Yearling - Dog, Judge: Mrs Charlotte Archibald

Show Critique:

My sincere thanks to the Officers and Committee, for inviting me to judge the Border Terriers at this show. We were truly blessed with some lovely autumn sunshine, and a well laid out ring.
Thank you, to all the exhibitors for allowing me the privilege to “go over” your dogs, however, I had concerns about the size and movement of some of the exhibits. I have a fair span and struggled to get anywhere near some dogs, which reflected in the placings.
Consequently, some heavy shoulders, and wide fronts.

Placing Critique:

eye catching 20 months, b/t male, with super head, ears well placed of a good thickness, big white teeth, good reach of neck , leading to well placed shoulders, ribbed well back, easily spanned, level topline held on the move, on neat tight feet, moved steadily with purpose. CC
