Second 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.
Another nice grizzle and tan placed second today but younger and consequently not quite so mature as the winner. Has all the essentials and I thought him very promising. His head certainly fits the breed standard very well with that all important keen expression, dark eye and big teeth. Correct shoulder placement, good topline and racy hindquarters. Shown in good coat. Unlucky to meet my first placing today as I think he has a bright future.
