National Dog Show (24-09-2021)

Second Place in Novice - Bitch, Judge: Mrs Wendy Mooney (Chesterton)

Show Critique:

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.

Placing Critique:

Another blue & tan, not the same type but also lots to like about her. These 2 exhibits are not what you expect to find in a Novice class but then Covid came along and spoiled everyone’s fun. Lots to like about this one too. Gorgeous blue coat of correct texture. Deeper in body but had a good length of rib and had a lovely profile. Also moved well but not as much drive when viewed in profile as the winner.
