First Place in Open - Bitch, 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 Grizzle bitch whom stood alone in her class. Tip top condition and shown loosely allowing her to flow around the ring. Lovely head with keen expression and good scissor bite. Correct proportions on this typey bitch with a good reach of neck, level topline and ribs carried well back. Good rear angulation and tight feet. Delighted to award her with Reserve Best Bitch and Reserve Best in Show
