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

Second 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:

Stronger dog than 1, okay in neck. Not in the best of jackets today but good pelt. In good hard condition, with good topline, straight in front. Playing his handler up a touch on the move.
