First Place in Limit - 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.
Excellent dark grizzle & tan in harsh, wire coat. He was of correct size and weight. Loved his beautiful otter head and expression. His dark muzzle, eyes and ears giving him an attractive typical head. Nicely proportioned with good ribs carried well back. No exaggerations in this dog, he has good length of neck flowing to a level topline which he maintained as he moved. Moved soundly when viewed from front and back.
