First Place in Open - 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.
CC and BOB Beautifully presented blue & tan in excellent condition – here was the ultimate showman -he never stopped showing. Moved with drive and purpose round the ring and carried his tail correctly. His coat was harsh, of true blue colour and there was plenty of thick pelt. Small neatest of feet, groomed perfectly. Correct size and weight, and nicely angulated. Worthy winner.
