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

First Place in Yearling - 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.

Placing Critique:

Well balanced dog with a decent front and strong hindquarters. Good for length and narrow enough, good topline and well ribbed back with firm short loin. Coat coming in.
