First Place in Open - 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.
A very pleasing bitch not over done in any way. Excellent otter head with large teeth and a perfect scissor bite. Nice ear placement held close to the cheek. Just the right amount of neck, leading into well laid shoulders. Good in rib. Spanned with ease. Level top-line. Racy hind quarters with correct angulation front and rear. Moved with drive and presented as a vision of a well-balanced dog. Pleased to award her Best Bitch and Best in Show
