Second Place in Open, Judge: David Alcorn (Lourdace/Comalegy)
Thank you to the committee for inviting me to judge at this buzzing, well organised, show. It was an extremely hot day so I moved dogs less than I perhaps would normally, to allow for the extreme temperatures we were all enjoying but the dogs were not. There was a good public attendance who seemed to enjoy the array of breeds on show. Thank you for the marvellous entries in the terrier breeds which made for a very enjoyable day indeed.
Border Terrier
Two good sorts in this class, who each have attributes to appraise. Both present typical outlines when stood up and have balance of angulation fore and aft. Preferred the front angulation and straighter front action of 1, but preferred the more otter like head of 2. Both easily spannable and presented in good order. A close decision
