First Place in Minor Puppy - Dog, Judge: Mr M. Hollingsbee (Otterwood)
I would like to thank my stewards Lesley and Peter Armstrong-Rodgers for the excellent way they controlled the ring in a peaceful and confident way ensuring a good natured atmosphere to reign.
The exhibitors also deserve thanks for entering and accepting my decisions in a sporting way and spectators applauding each class in turn.
The quality of the majority of the exhibits was good but some of them had suspect front movement which seems to be common in certain Borders.
8 month old blue and tan of top quality, excellent movement front and rear, a little frisky on the table but found out afterwards that it was his first show. Excellent movement both front and rear, correct harsh coat and pliable pelt. Best Puppy in Breed. Pleased to see that he was placed 2nd in a very strong Terrier Puppy Group
