Second 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.

9 year old grizzle dog who was a delight. Had to bow down to his younger competitor today but has so much breed type, shown in double jacket that is nearing a refresh but still of good texture. Short carrot tail used on the move which was still sound. Attractive head with varminity expression and other than having a missing lower incisor his jaw still housed big teeth set in a scissor bite. Thrilled to hear he headed the AV Veteran class judged by the group judge and went on to Reserve Best Veteran on Show
