First Place in Junior - Bitch, Judge: Mrs C E Sansom (Tarkaswell)
I would like to thank the committee and members of the Scottish Border Terrier Club for the invitation to judge at this very friendly and well organised club show. My steward Pete Appleby was a great help, keeping things moving smoothly, and I am most grateful to the exhibitors for giving me such a lovely entry.
This dark grizzle and tan bitch was balanced in her construction and showed with presence. She had a dark eye and keen expression. Her lovely reach of neck flowed into a narrow and fairly long body, with her ribs carried well back. Level in her top line, her tail was well set and carried gaily. Correctly constructed, with good angulation, she moved out positively with drive and purpose. Presented in a harsh double coat with a thick pelt. I was pleased to award her RBB and RBIS.
