Scottish Border Terrier Club Open Show (04-06-2011)

First Place in Yearling - Dog, Judge: Mr M. Hollingsbee (Otterwood)

Show Critique:

I would like to express my thanks to the Officers and Committee of the Club for inviting me to judge their show, my second opportunity at a Breed Open Show.
I was struck by the wonderful atmosphere in the hall with every result being greeted with spontaneous, enthusiastic applause. The exhibitors in Scotland certainly are a very sporting lot!
I found no bad mouths but front movement in some exhibits left a lot to be desired. However my class winners did not disappoint me

Placing Critique:

grizzle dog, level topline, narrow front, neatly shaped paws with thick pads, good rear angulation with strong loins ensuring he moved with drive, dark eyes, well set ears, (Best Dog, Reserve Best in Show and Best Opposite Sex)
