First Place in Post Graduate - 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 quality bitch had a lovely feminine head and good reach of neck, which flowed into her narrow and moderately long body. Easily spanned, her ribs were carried well back, her loin was strong and her tail well set and carried gaily. Correctly angulated in front and behind, she moved out effortlessly with purpose and drive, whilst maintaining a level top line. She was shown in a full coat today, with a thick, loose pelt. Very attentive to her handler, she showed with confidence and presence. I was pleased to award her BB and BIS.
