First Place in Graduate - Bitch, Judge: Joyce Martin (Merumhor)
Many thanks to the officers and committee for the invitation to judge Border Terriers at the East of England Agricultural Society Show, which was to be the last one run by this society. It was a super venue with lovely big rings which gave the dogs a chance to stride out. Many thanks to my ring stewards Peter and Lesley Armstrong for keeping things running smoothly and efficiently. I was delighted with my entry of 109 dogs making a total entry of 149 and pleased with the overall quality of dogs shown. Thank you to the exhibitors for giving the chance to go over your dogs and for the sporting way the placings were taken. It is indeed a privilege to have the opportunity do so. I was thrilled to be able to watch the terrier group and see my BOB – Stineval Lambert JW take group 1 in a quality line up. I also was delighted to hear that my BPIB – Glebeheath Ophelia went Group 3 in the Puppy Group.
Another lovely grizzle bitch from this kennel. A strong feminine head with a flat skull and short muzzle keen expression. In a pinwire coat showing off her nice clean outline. Again with good feet. Moved soundly round the ring.
