First Place in Junior - Dog, Judge: Miss K. Hamilton (Cromlechs)
Firstly I would like to thank the officers and committee of The Yorkshire, Lancashire & Cheshire Border Terrier Club for inviting me to judge and showing a warming hospitality. Thanks also goes to my two stewards who made sure my day ran perfectly. A well ran show with a fabulous atmosphere and venue. Many thanks goes to all the exhibitors for allowing me to go over their dogs and making my day one to remember and thoroughly enjoyable. Bitches outweighed the dogs but I was happy with the overall quality on the day. I would say exhibits were presented well although some could benefit with some general canine care like nail clipping. The last few years haven’t been kind to the show world so let’s not forget that sportsmanship is vital in making the show and atmosphere what it is.
Beautiful Dog of good type. Strong masculine head with strong muzzle and correct scissor bite, keen eye and nicely set ears. Perfect reach of neck and correct shoulder flowing into a well set back rib and level topline with a good pelt. Not overdone in any way and moved soundly and freely around the ring with lots of drive from behind on neat feet. Pleased to award Best Dog and missing out on further top awards due to being short of coat today.
