First Place in Open - Dog, Judge: Tracey Anscombe (Orangebox)
Thank you to the committee of this fantastic, friendly and well organised show for the appointment to judge originally the Border Terriers, but due to the group judge Colin Richardson falling fowl to a dodgy Chinese I was extremely honoured to be able to cover his breed classes with Darwin Martin completing the AV and Group. I wish Colin a speedy recovery. Thank you to the exhibitors for bringing their dogs.
Another I have judged before as a younger dog and he has matured into a very upstanding masculine male. Strong headed of type. In a good coat with thick pelt. Moved well holding his shape with power from his well muscled rear. For me there is enough of him but a good honest Border. Felt he had just lost a bit of spark come the end for BOB.
