First Place in Open - 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 and tan presented in top draw order, in tight coat of good texture. Attractive head will all the hallmarks required of a border with a really lovely expression strong jaw and clean scissor bite. Good rear angulation and straight front, stands on small feet. Was lovely to go over on the table. Move with economy around the ring and pushed hard in the challenge for Best Dog but I just felt the Junior dog had a bit more sparkle.
