First Place in Veteran - Dog or Bitch, Judge: Gemma Vaughan nee Alpe (Holteal)
My thanks goes to Northern border terrier club firstly for the invite to judge, its was a great honour to judge in a geographically different area to myself. Thank you to all who had entered and all that showed under me.
The hospitality at the show was second to none with a fantastic lunch on offer.
Thank you to my steward Allen Horner on the day who helped run my ring very smoothly.
I was overall very pleased with the quality of dogs that were shown under me just one dog with a bad mouth and another dog with a kinked tail. Varying stages of coats today but I will not place down if I can see what I’m looking for coming through.
Again thank you for your entries and allowing me to judge your dogs.
BD,BIS & BVIS 8 year old red grizzle in super harsh coat,with an exceptionally strong otter like head and good bite. Good lay back of shoulder,super overall outline,moved out well for and after. Turned out well and handled well. Pleased to award him top honours today.
