First Place in Post Graduate - Bitch, Judge: Mrs Charlotte Archibald (Tweedburn)
My sincere thanks to the Scottish Border Terrier Club for inviting me to judge their Championship show, one of my favourites. Also my thanks to the exhibitors for allowing me the privilege to judge their dogs.
My main concern is size and weight, it really does matter, there were a number of exhibits that were too heavy/big, and at the other end of the spectrum, not enough muscle/bone/condition, which is essential for a working dog. However, I was very happy with the main winners, and both line ups.
Wow, what a picture! From nose to tail all Border, super head, excellent body/bone, easily spanned, with the thickest of jackets, in supberb condition, moved so well maintaining her topline, thought this was my overall winner, alas didn’t move well in the challenge.
