First Place in Post Graduate - Dog, Judge: Tracey Anscombe (Orangebox)
Thank you to the committee for the invitation to judge at your show and to the Border Terrier Club for their support of the classes. I thoroughly enjoyed my day, there was a friendly ringside atmosphere and lovely exhibits to judge. Some of the entries in the younger classes didn’t settle that well on the move, perhaps due to the distraction of the large amount of bait left on the ground from the previous classes, but they did well enough and were all sound just distracted.

Grizzle in real double coat of depth and good texture. Good in head and expression due to correct ear set and dark eye. Scissor bite in strong jaw. He was also unsettled on the move but I managed to see just enough. He is a handy size and extremely easy to span. Stands on small feet and has a good tail set with short carrot tail. Could do with a bit more maturity to complete the picture.
