First Place in Junior - 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.
13 month old grizzle of top quality, outstanding front construction, level top line leading to a lovely carrot shaped tail. He has an excellent harsh coat with thick undercoat. His movement front and rear was exceptional. Delighted to award him Dog Challenge Certificate and Best of Breed. Proud to hear that he was awarded Terrier Group 4 out of a group containing 23 Best of Breed winners.
