First Place in Open - Bitch, Judge: Ms Julie Green (Breckgreen/Stowthorney)
I would like to thank the officers and committee for asking me to judge The Border Terrier Club Open Show at Low Hesket and big thank you for my lovely judge’s gifts. I would also like to thank my two stewards for the day, Judy Carr and Marina Flemming for doing a sterling job and keeping the ring running smoothly through the day. Thanks must go to the exhibitors for their fantastic entry and for excepting my decisions on the day. I had a lovely entry of borders who on whole were of good quality.
Grizzle and tan bitch of lovely type. This girl was so showy. Lovely head with a dark eye and correct bite. Good reach of neck flowing into correct shoulders. Good top line and tail set which she held on the move. Lovely angulation. Shown in a harsh double jacket. Moved with ease. Pleased to award her Best Bitch, Best Opposite Sex and Resv Best in Show. Pleased to see she finally gained her crowning CC a couple of weeks later.
