First Place in Puppy - Bitch, 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.
A blue and tan bitch puppy nearing 8 months who shows much promise. Has a head of good proportions with lovely dark eye, good dentition and finish to muzzle. Standing she looks so well balanced, excellent neck, shoulder, front and feet. Super hindquarters with a well set on tail. All finished off with good pliable pelt. Today shown in quite sufficient coat of good texture. It was her sound movement coming and going for such a youngster which gave her this rather good class.
