First Place in Limit - 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.
A handy sized grizzle bitch with a good head and big teeth. She was presented in very good condition with a super tweedy jacket and loose pelt. She has good reach of neck flowing in to a level topline with a short, thick carroty tail straight off the back. Well angulated with a good bend of stifle and well muscled which she put to good use moving round the ring. RBCC.
