The Northern Border Terrier Club Open Show (17-07-2021)

First Place in Veteran - Dog or Bitch, Judge: Mrs Margaret Davies (Glenorchy)

Show Critique:

My grateful thanks to the Club for inviting me to judge their July Open Show. I had a lovely day. I’d like to thank the exhibitors for a super entry
Also thanks to my very capable Steward, Allen Horner, who kept everything on track, Valerie Atkinson for a lovely lunch and to the club for their hospitality. The show was well organised considering the difficulties with Covid restrictions. I had difficulty in spanning quite a few exhibits and I was surprised to see a lot of small teeth. Also there were a lot of exhibits who could have do with their nails trimming. All dogs were entire and there were no kinky tails.

Class Critique:

I wish I could have given more cards out in this class — they all deserved one.

Placing Critique:

11 year old dog who was shown in excellent condition. He has a lovely head, ears and expression. Good reach of neck flowing into well laid shoulders. Nice straight front and good feet. Good level topline which carried well on the move. Easily spanned. He is a credit to his owners. Pleased to Award him Best Veteran in Show.
