The Midland Border Terrier Club Open Show (06-05-2023)

First Place in Limit - Bitch, Judge: Mr Keith Baldwin (Nightstorm)

Show Critique:

I would like to thank all the Officers and Committee of the Midland Border Terrier Club for inviting me to judge their club open show.
It is now 17 years that I have been judging Border Terriers and it was the 6th August 2011 that I attended the Midland Border Terrier Club breed specific seminar when Jena Tuck was the secretary.
I was very pleased with my entry of 112 quality dogs and bitches, also I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the exhibitors who entered and for allowing me to go over their dogs. They all showed and behaved very well. I can report back to you that you have overall one of the soundest breeds that I have judged.
Last but not least I would like to thank my stewards who did an excellent job keeping everything flowing smoothly between the two shows in the Margaret Everton Pavilion

Placing Critique:

2 years old grizzle, litter sister to 2nd in Post Grad, she is stunning with just that added substance and her femininity oozing from her, she is a good size, not overdone in this department at all, feminine otter head with strong muzzle, dark eyes with keen expression, moderate neck into beautiful shoulders and narrow correctly shaped ribs, giving a good underline and easy spanned, her racy hindquarter powered her around the ring and she came and went cleanly. She is just what I want in a Border, Reserve Best Bitch
