First Place in Post Graduate - Dog, Judge: Mrs Jean Willetts (Hanway)
I would like to thank Bath Canine Society Committee for my invitation to judge Border Terriers at their show. I would also like to thank my steward as she was on her own, and did an excellent job of running the ring and dogs smoothly. I’d also like to thank all the exhibitors who entered, I had a very enjoyable day going over each of the dogs.
On the whole most of the dogs were in good condition. Most dogs presented had good pelts and coats, however there were a few with thin pelts. There were a few long tails and some large ears. The movement on the whole was sound.
Nice size with correct head and expression, neat ears. Good neck and shoulders. In good condition with harsh coat and pelt. Moved well round the ring, keeping his top line and tail set on the move. Liked him, but lost his sparkle in challenge.
