First Place in Limit - Bitch, Judge: Mr Simon Jackson (Clipstone)
Firstly, I would like to thank the Kennel Club for allowing me the honour of judging this Border Terrier Centenary year. I also thank my excellent stewards for keeping me on track and to everybody who gave me such a fantastic entry, both in numbers and quality across all classes. To be blunt, I don’t think I have ever seen and enjoyed such a very high quality entry before. Unfortunately many good exhibits went home unrewarded. Several classes the placed exhibits could have all stood in first place. I really was splitting hairs. I can honestly say that I really enjoyed myself and hope everybody else did too. I’d also like to thank Joyce Martin and my son, Laurence Jackson, for the excellent photographs which has made the writing of this critique so much easier. I understand Laurence also live-streamed the CC’s and BOB – technology far above me – but thanks!
A class teeming in quality.
A classic example of her kennel. Fantastic old fashioned hard double coat. Really pretty feminine head with true expression and nice ears. Lovely front. Easily spannable. Strong deep loin and powerful quarters. Beautiful level topline and classic carroty tail. Really pleased to award her the Bitch CC and Best of Breed.
