First Place in Puppy - Dog, Judge: Lesley Armstrong-Rodgers ( Atron/Scottsway )
Thank you to the Committee for inviting me to judge Border Terriers at this extremely well run event, especially for pulling off such a great show despite being let down at such a late stage with their original venue. The Committee must have really pulled together, so very well done. I must say that they even had far more toilet facilities than some Championship Shows of late !.
I was delighted to be greeted with a super entry, not just numerically, but in quality too !. Thank you to all the exhibitors for bringing their Borders for my opinion today.
What a super grizzle and tan this young dog is. Approaching 12 months he stands with such balance and for me shows such breed type. Moderate neck flows into well placed shoulders. Ribbed well back and easily spannable. Excellent rear quarters. Standing, has a lovely topline and underline and correctly placed tail. Moved effortlessly holding his topline and at one with his handler. All finished off with a decent jacket. My BEST PUPPY and eventually under the group judge gained PUPPY GROUP 3. Well done.
