First Place in Open, 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.
4 year old grizzle dog.Strong head, good neck, would prefer slightly better shoulder, enough upperarm. Narrow enough and spannable. In full coat with ok pelt. Moved well, in the running for higher placings.
