First Place in Yearling - Dog, Judge: Mrs Wendy Mooney (Chesterton)
Thank you to the committee of Birmingham Dog Show Society for inviting me to judge Border Terriers at their show. Many thanks to all the exhibitors who entered and gave me the honour and pleasure of judging their dogs. I had a fabulous entry and was truly spoilt for choice in many of the classes. One general observation is that there were quite a number of dogs that were, in my opinion, simply too big to do the job that they are bred to do.
Another super young dog. This dark grizzle & tan has an excellent harsh double coat. Easily spanned and of correct weight with a straight narrow front. Not over-done in any way. Loved his size and narrowness throughout. Good reach of neck flowing into correct shoulders. Good topline and has lovely ribs carried well back. Moved well, probably a result of being built correctly
