First Place in Minor Puppy - Dog, Judge: Moira Barrass (Gallondean)
It was a great privilege to be invited to judge the Scottish Border Terrier Club open show at Gretna. My thanks go to the committee, the wonderful ladies who did the catering, my very efficient steward Eddie Houston and all the exhibitors for giving me the pleasure of judging their dogs. The atmosphere was wonderful, win or lose you all clapped for 1st to 4th. I found most of the dogs easily spanned, set down in good coats, clean scissor bites and neat feet. One or two dogs could lose a 1lb or 2 but all had good temperament and great muscle tone.
well balanced puppy, good otter like head, keen dark eyes with dark pigmentation, scissor bite, correct ear carriage, good straight front, good reach of neck falling into good shoulder placement, level top line, correct tail set, well muscled rear, presented in good harsh coat, moved well around the ring.
