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

First Place in Limit - 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:

Bitch of good size, turned out in good double coat and condition. Pleasing head. Good neck, shoulder and upperarm. Excellent pelt. Well ribbed back with good firm loin. Good outline, moves very well in profile. Considered in the challenge.
