First Place in 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.
masculine typical head with dark pigmentation, keen expression in dark eyes, strong clean scissor bite, good ear set, good reach of neck, neat shoulder placement, level top line, straight front, easily spanned, neat feet, correct tail set, muscular dog presented in good coat, won BPIS on overall balance & movement.
