First Place in Puppy - Bitch, Judge: Mr M. & Mrs V Atkinson (Raedwulf)
Mr Mark Atkinson (Raedwulf) I’ve been looking forward to the opportunity of judging at the NCSTA show. This is always a well run show with a dedicated committee and as ever the catering was second to none. Many thanks to my steward who remained in good spirits despite the constant chilly breeze. I was lucky to have the opportunity to spend some time with highly experienced Border Terrier Judges after judging my breed today which rounded off a fantastic day.
Mrs Valerie Atkinson (Raedwulf) Many thanks go to NCSTA for inviting me to judge my beloved Border Terriers following in the footsteps of many esteemed Border Terrier judges, of whom I much admire, who also began their early career judging at this show. As always a really well run show with a welcoming committee and the best of sporting atmosphere.
10 month old grizzle bitch, lovely Otter head with well placed ears and feminine expression, correct scissor bite, lovely reach of neck and straight front. Good lay back of rib, narrow throughout. Excellent top line and tail set. Picture completed with good coat and pelt. Moved well around the ring, happy to award her BPIB TPG4.
