Yorkshire, Lancashire & Cheshire Border Terrier Club Open Show (28-01-2023)

Second Place in Minor Puppy - Bitch, Judge: Dr. Margaret Armstrong (Ploughdown)

Show Critique:

I’d like to thank Yorks, Lancs and Cheshire Border Terrier Club for inviting me to judge their January Open Show. It was a privilege. I was given a really warm welcome and the hospitality was second to none. The venue was bright and airy and provided for a large ring with plenty of room for exhibitors. I was very ably assisted on the day by my two stewards, Margaret Davis and Sian McKay, who organised the ring with cheerful good humour and efficiency. It was also super to be present for the presentation by the Club to Pat and Brian Baxter, who always add a convivial and kindly presence to any gathering. Lastly I’d like to thank the exhibitors for coming out in numbers in chilly January and who accepted my placings with such good grace.

Placing Critique:

Blue/tan 6 month old girl. Narrow in front with enough bone and strong pasterns leading to tight little feet. Level topline that she held when moving. Not as mature in head as 1 but lots of time for that. Shorter than 1. Very much a puppy when moving.
