The Southern Border Terrier Open Show (05-03-2023)

Second Place in Junior - Dog, Judge: Mr Matt Smith (Alncroft)

Show Critique:

Many thanks to the club for the invitation to judge at their show and for their hospitality. Thank you to my stewards, and the exhibitors for entering under me. I thoroughly enjoyed my day and was pleased with the quality present. Many of the classes were close decisions and coats played a big part in final standings. Whilst I didn’t find any dogs that I couldn’t span, having spent a lifetime around working terriers some of the bitches in particular were on the larger end of the scale for preference.

Class Critique:

I was really splitting hairs between these two, both decent youngsters that could change places on another day.

Placing Critique:

There is much to like about this lad as well. Another pleasing head, with a lovely front, straight legs and neat feet. Looks a picture coming towards on the move, not quite as fit as 1. Narrow all through and well turned out.
