Second 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 Blue & Tan bitch with a lovely feminine head/expression, dark aye and lovely ear placement. Really well balanced and comes to hand easily, she excels in type for me. Movement is very true and shows a lovely ring presence, in super jacket with a lovely texture and correct ticking. Unlucky to come up against todays class winner but called back into the ring and secured Res Best Of Breed.
