Border Terrier Open Show (27-02-2010)

First Place in Special Beginners - Dog, Judge: Mrs Marylynne Winder (Appleside)

Show Critique:

My thanks to the Border Terrier Club for giving me the opportunity to judge the Club Open Show at Jedburgh and the Officers and Committee for their hospitality on the day.
Sincere thanks to the exhibitors for an excellent entry of 194 from 158 exhibits. Unfortunately, due to adverse weather conditions which prevailed the previous day north of the border, the number of dogs present was greatly depleted. A special thank you to my tireless ring stewards, Glenise and Maurice Hyslop for the quiet and efficient way they organised my ring.

Placing Critique:

Smart blue and tan with a good coat and pelt. Up to size. Pleasing head and expression. Level topline, correct tail set, straight front, good bend of stifle, presented well.
