First Place in Junior, Judge: Tracey Anscombe (Orangebox)
Thank you to the committee for the invitation to judge at your show and providing the steward, Lesley. She was brilliant keeping the ring and me in order! The classes were supported by the Northern Border Terrier Club which I know is greatly appreciated and lovely rosettes provided. I believe that not only did we have the biggest terrier entry but the biggest breed entry in the show. Thank you to everyone who entered, I thoroughly enjoyed my day. The weather held and no umbrellas required resulting in a pleasant ringside atmosphere and lovely exhibits to judge giving me a lot to think about.
BOB A real quality dog with everything in the right place, not overdone in any way. Pleasing in head and expression with a correct bite, big teeth, and strong jaw. His construction flowed from his neck into shoulder layback of rib into loin and off his back as short carrot shaped tail, he stands on small, neat feet with thick pads. Presented in top order in correct double coat of harsh texture and pliable thick pelt. He moved around the ring with purpose holding his shape covering the ground.When it came to the final line-up for Best of Breed, he secured his place on showmanship and ring presence in very stiff competition.
