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

Second Place in Minor Puppy - Bitch, 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:

similar remarks apply to 2. Slightly better in shoulder, good legs and feet, had a bit less coat on the day. Moved well when settled.
