Second Place in Open, Judge: Mr Peter Armstrong (Atron)
My sincere thanks go firstly, to the Committee for inviting me to judge at their Premier Show, at which the Border Terrier classes were also being kindly supported by the East Anglia Border Terrier Club. Secondly to the exhibitors for such a marvellous entry and for giving me the opportunity of going over their dogs and last, but not least, to my Steward, Karen Bridge, for her invaluable assistance in keeping the ring running smoothly. Movement today was sometimes difficult to assess, especially with the youngsters, as the ring surface was full of delicious smells both from the horses and the previous days dog show.
