First Place in Limit - Bitch, Judge: Mr R Wright (Borderexpress)
Thank you to the committee of the YLC Border Terrier Club for this appointment, a very hard working team that pulled a lovely show together at a great venue and also my two very capable stewards Bridget Singh and Margaret Davies. To the exhibitors that also supported me on my wonderful entry for the day and generated a great atmosphere around the ring.
The lunch time interval also kept me busy with 6 lovely puppies taking part in the puppy walk, a great idea successfully carried out by the club and an opportunity to get the youngsters out and into a show environment – some promising youngsters to go over made the interval very pleasing.
I was really pleased with my final line ups on the day although I felt that the bitch classes were stronger than the dog classes, jackets with Crufts up and coming in a few weeks were varying so again thank you for putting exhibits forward that we all knew could do with some more jacket to just complete the picture.
19 month old grizzle and tan bitch set down in a full double jacket and in super fit condition, love her profile stacked/on the move. Stunning head and expression and a nice dark eye, her neck/shoulders/rib just flow into a lovely length of body. She has a lovely balanced picture/drive on the move and just what I was look for on the day, pleased to of awarded her Best Bitch and Best In Show on the day.
