First Place in Junior, Judge: Mr R Wright (Borderexpress)

Show Critique:

A big thank you to the committee/officers of the Sunderland & District Canine Society for asking me to judge the Border Terriers at today’s Premier Open Show. A lovely entry of 25 dogs so a big thank you to the exhibitors for supporting my entry today and presenting some really nice dogs.
Also a big thank you to my steward for the day, Mr Tom hall who kept not only my classes but all of the terrier ring for the day finishing off with the group.
Borders were first in the ring today so I had the chance to see all of the terrier classes develop during the morning and then pleased to see my Best Of Breed go Terrier Group 2 – well done.
A lovely friendly show well supported and being an outside event weather held and the sun shone for most of it. Thank you all again for a lovely day and your support -

Placing Critique:

15 month old Grizzle dog of a medium construction but just a little bit shorter in length, nice in head with a dark eye. Good in the shoulder/rib – would just prefer to see a little more length in the loin. He moved with ease and had a nice top line staked/on the move, finished off with a nice short carrot tail, jacket and thick pelt.
