Second Place in Open - Bitch, 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.
Very close between 1 and 2 both are full of breed type and will change places frequently I am sure – a joy to judge
Grizzle and tan also shown in fabulous condition and presentation, coat further along than 1st with thick harsh depth to it and plenty of loose pelt. Ideal for size and easy to span. Attractive head with large teeth in scissor bite. Presents a nice outline more racy in underline than one. Move Ok but just not as positive today as 1st.
