First Place in Open - 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 trio of lovely bitches.
This blue and tan appealed for both size and type. Owns a balanced head of good proportions, dark eye and excellent dentition. Stands on a good straight front with correct shoulder placement. Racy hindquarters. Possesses a lovely level topline and short carroty tail, which she used to advantage. All finished off with a good coat and excellent pelt. Moved out soundly. However in the challenge for Best Bitch I just preferred the animation of my previous class winner.
