First Place in Junior, Judge: Mr R Wright (Borderexpress)
A big thank you to the committee/officers of Reading & District Kennel Association for asking me to judge the Border Terriers at today’s Premier Open Show. A lovely entry of 20 dogs so a big thank you to the exhibitors for supporting my entry today and presenting some quality dogs. Also a big thank you to my steward for the day Mr Graham Smith who kept the classes moving along not just for the Borders but a number of the Terrier breed classes. It is always nice to have the day to see the Terrier Classes develop and see the quality that comes through into the group and it did not disappoint but always nice to see your Best Of Breed go Terrier Group 1 and to top it off be awarded Best In Show from an entry of well over 1,000 dogs
15 month old Grizzle that has matured into a really smart dog, my puppy critique on him back in October 2021 said that he was “one to keep an eye on” and he certainly is – you can’t actually take your eyes off him !!! His head has matured nicely and has a keen expression/dark eye, his front construction/movement is super and he just flows into a really well developed hind quarters and bend of stifle. He moves with ease and really commands the ring, set down in perfect condition and handled to perfection. Pleased to award him BOB on the day and see him go Terrier Group 1 and Best In Show from over 1,000 dogs entered – very well done.
