First Place in Veteran - 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.
Light grizzle and tan dog of almost 8 years, with a harsh coat which was not fully through. Nice dark ears correctly set and a good otter head with strong muzzle. He was of correct size and weight. Stepped out with purpose that belied his years.
