Second Place in Veteran - Dog or 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.
What a lovely class of veterans, all a credit to their owners. There was a considerable age range, and I would have liked to have had some more prize cards to present.
This 10 year old blue and tan dog was also shown in super condition. Well constructed with a lovely reach of neck, level top line and good tail set. Built on narrow lines with moderate angulation. Presented in a harsh, dense coat with thick pelt. Sound and positive, although I preferred the top line of my winner on the move
