First Place in Veteran - Dog or 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.
Beautiful 8-year-old bitch who I have admired for some time. Was lovely to finally get my hands on her. Beautiful head with dark eye and keen expression. Good reach of neck flowing into correct shoulder placement. Shown in a harsh double jacket with a good pelt. Lovely top line and correct tail set. Nicely muscled all round. Moved out well. Pleased to award her Best Veteran in Show.
