The Yorkshire, Lancashire & Cheshire Border Terrier Club Open Show (29-01-2022)

First Place in Limit - Bitch, Judge: Miss K. Hamilton (Cromlechs)

Show Critique:

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.

Placing Critique:

Grizzle bitch shown in a fabulous jacket. Lovely otter head that has the most darkest of eyes and neat ears. Straight front and good shoulder with rib carried well back and narrow throughout with a good length of body. Racy hindquarters which allowed her to move out with plenty of drive on tight feet to complete the picture. Pleased to award this bitch Best Bitch and Best in Show
