Second Place in Puppy, Judge: Mr Matt Smith (Alncroft)
Thank you to the society for the invitation to take over this appointment and to the Southern Border Terrier club for putting me forward. I always enjoy judging Borders and was pleased with the quality in this entry. Having grown up with earth working terriers I am always mindful when judging of the true original function of this breed.
There was a good depth of quality in this class with some very close decisions that could easily change on another day.
seven month old grizzle bitch. Feminine bitch, narrow, in good coat with thick pelt. Easily spanned, well balanced, moved well all ways.
