First Place in Post Graduate - 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.
Handsome grizzle dog with a good head of classic proportions, dark eye, good finish to muzzle and correct dentition. Standing, he looked so well balanced. Good reach of neck flowing into well placed shoulders. Flat ribs making him easily spannable and with good rear hindquarters. Moving, he held his topline well and carried his tail correctly. Signs of a good harsh coat coming through.
