Southern Border Terrier Club Members Limited Show (01-03-2020)

First Place in Junior - Dog, Judge: Tina Morgan (Blewecourt)

Show Critique:

Thankyou to the officers and committee for the support and courtesy extended to me at this well-run breed club show. I also want to thank and congratulate Sheila Hales the show manager, David Hunt and Lyn Aldrich my stewards and Andrew Mooney for ensuring everything was in order and ran smoothly. My last thanks must go to the exhibitors for a quality entry and allowing me to go over their dogs, as well as the sporting way they accepted my decisions.
It was a great atmosphere, all the dogs and bitches displayed good temperaments, all males entire, a couple of level bites which is of course acceptable and a wide variety of types with some carrying too much condition which I couldn’t span and were heavy. Coats were at varying stages of growth and I was pleased to feel a number of good thick pelts. I judged as I saw the dogs on the day and had at the fore the essentials required for ‘essentially a working terrier’.

Placing Critique:

Stood alone but worthy of his 1st place. Lovely strong headed dog with good dentition, short strong muzzle and dark eyes. Lovely neck into good shoulders, easily spanned. Good for bone and with lovely ribbed back into short loin. Handy size who moved well and soundly and one who should have a bright future.
