First Place in Limit - 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.
Grizzle dog short of coat today. This lovely dog presented a good otter head with dark eyes and a strong muzzle. Good reach of neck flowing into a well placed shoulder with a good length of body, a level topline and carrot shaped tail. Narrow throughout with correct rib and racy hindquarters. Moved out well. Delighted to award him Reserve Best Dog
