First Place in Novice - Bitch, 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.
Lovely feminine B&T bitch, so sound and beautifully proportioned. Everything about this one was quality. Loved her stunning head, feminine and correct – strong jaw, good dentition. Narrow throughout with a straight front and ribs carried well back. Easily spanned. Moved with drive and flowed round the ring. Delighted to award her the BCC, her first, I believe.
