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

Second Place in Limit - Bitch, 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:

Another lovely handy size B/T. Nice head and expression, good dentition, narrow in front with lovely neck into good lay of shoulder. Narrow throughout, fit and good for bone. Well angulated with a good blue and tan coat, pelt and well set on tail. Moved well but not matching the drive of 1st.
