First Place in Open - Dog, Judge: Mrs Marylynne Winder (Appleside)
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.
A quality dog worthy of his title, shown in lovely condition (certainly fit for purpose). Nicely constructed, lovely head and expression, good neck, nicely shaped body, well made hindquarters. Moved out freely. Scored in presentation. Best Dog and Best in Show.
