Darlington Championship Dog Show (17-09-2022)

First Place in Limit - Dog, Judge: Miss Tracey Peacock (Ragatam)

Show Critique:

Firstly, I would like to thank the committee for their invitation to judge Border Terriers. Huge thanks to my two efficient stewards Laura Jordan-Smith and Julie North who kept me on track and finally the exhibitors for a super entry. Movement in general was better at the rear than in front as there were too many swinging fronts, wide movement and toeing in. There was a good selection of quality dogs and bitches for me to choose from and I thoroughly enjoyed my day.

Class Critique:

What a super class of quality dogs. Very close decisions for the placings with several good ones having to go home cardless.

Placing Critique:

2 year old who has a pleasing otter shaped head with a keen expression and a powerful jaw with big teeth. Nice reach of neck and shoulder placement with well ribbed back. His double jacket was of good texture and he spanned with ease. He moved with drive and purpose. A really well balanced dog of handy size who was presented in fit hard condition. A pleasure to award him the D.C.C.
