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

Second Place in Post Graduate - 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:

Taller dog than 1. Okay in head with good muzzle. Good neck and well made front. Good length of ribbing, good coat and pelt. Covers the ground well on the move.
