First Place in Limit, 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.
A dog I have judged before and still think very highly of. He has all the attributes a border terrier should have, otter like head, scissor bite, large teeth, harsh double coat, spannable,ground covering gate that could follow a horse all day. I could go on however my views of the lovely boy are well documented. In the final line up for Best of Breed I was confronted with an extremely tough but pleasurable decision and would have rewarded him reserve best of breed if there was one to award.
