Whitehaven & District Canine Association Open Show (21-11-2021)

First Place in Puppy - Bitch, Judge: Tracey Anscombe (Orangebox)

Show Critique:

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.

Class Critique:

None of these exhibits moved that well due to various outside elements which made assessing movement difficult

Placing Critique:

Very well-schooled dark grizzle presented in good order in harsh double jacket. Typical in head with clean scissor bite. I would prefer slightly smaller ears but they didn’t detract from her expression. Held her shape in the stack and on the move and strode out well once she got going. Very balanced and of a handy size and easy span. Pleased that she was awarded Puppy Group 1, BPB BPIB PG1
