Second Place in Post Graduate - Bitch, 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.
A lot to like about this well constructed girl. Feminine otter head and pleasing expression, dark eye. Neat ears. Narrow front, good bone and neat feet. Correct length of rib and strength of coupling. Good bend of stifle. Moved well around the ring. Very short of coat today.
