First Place in Open - 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 blue and tan bitch, was balanced in her construction and full of quality. She had a dark eye and varminty expression, although could have been slightly shorter in the muzzle. An elegant reach of neck flowed into a narrow body of moderate length, straight front legs and lovely small neat feet. Correctly angulated, she moved with purpose and drive covering the ground with ease.
