First Place in Puppy - Dog, Judge: Mrs P Cox (Cushatlaw) & Dr M Armstrong (Ploughdown)
Judge: Dr Margaret Armstrong (Ploughdown), Bitches, Thank you to the committee of the Northern Counties Sporting Terrier Association for inviting me to judge at their group open show. I’d also like to thank my stewards for their sterling work in keeping things flowing. There was a lovely atmosphere at the show and the officers and exhibitors were very welcoming. I had a great entry of Border Terrier bitches and my placings were greeted with gracious courtesy. It was a bracing, sunny day and it was good for the Border Terriers to be judged outside, which largely seemed to suit all.
Lovely 7 month old puppy enjoying his first show. Head developing well with lovely dark eye and keen expression. Good length to rib and strong loin. Moved out soundly and with confidence for one so young. Nice tail and tail carriage. Will watch his progress with interest.
