Second 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.
Another beautiful dog who was also presented in top condition. Pushed the winner hard in this class. Stunning head and in excellent coat, he was also groomed to perfection. So much to like about him – narrow, straight front; balanced throughout with good length of body and racy hindquarters. Also had neat, tight feet that so many lack. Loved his size and type – a true Border throughout.
