The Scottish Border Terrier Club Championship Show (11-11-2023)

First Place in Limit - Dog, Judge: Mr Mark Lowry (Ravenside)

Show Critique:

Firstly, I would like to thank everyone for a lovely entry and also to the Scottish BTC for this opportunity. Special thanks go to my two stewards for the day who kept everything running smoothly and for their good company. Although the lighting in the hall isn’t the best, it was adequate and the large square ring was perfect for watching movement, something I feel is very important in a border terrier. On that note I found my main winners to excel in this department. I was pleased to judge some strong puppy classes and also some strong adult classes

Placing Critique:

G&T dog that I’ve admired for some time and today did not disappoint. Beautiful typical otter head with keen dark eye, shallow stop and ears set correct. Narrow front with tight feet. Good reach of neck flowing into excellent topline and tailset. He stands out on the move, covering the ground with ease being so well angulated front and rear. He was showed in perfect harsh coat and thick loose pelt. Easily spanned dog that is not overdone in any way and has class in abundance. Was pleased to award him DCC with BIS
