First Place in Novice - Bitch, Judge: Mr R Brewster (Stowthorney)
I would like to thank the officers and committee of the Northern Border terrier club,
for inviting me to judge at this show. I considered this a great honour and privilege.
Many thanks to my two ring stewards Andrea Dixon and Mark Atkinson for keeping the ring running smoothly. I am immensely grateful to all of the exhibitors for a supper entry and the chance to go over so many lovely dogs and for taking my decisions with good sportsmanship. Some decisions could have been different on another day
In general, most were in tip top condition a few were a bit over weight.
Dentition was mostly good. I was happy on the whole with temperaments.
Nice otter head with a good scissor bite. Shown in good double jacket with thick pelt. Good reach of neck into well laid shoulders. Nice length of rib. Very easy to span. Good angulation, top-line and tail-set, which she held well on the move.
