First Place in Junior - Dog, Judge: Rachel Larner (Hawcoat)
Firstly I would like to apologise for the delay in this critique. I would like to thank the committee for inviting me to judge this show and all the members for entering and attending. I would also like to thank the stewards for the running of the ring.
I enjoyed going over all the dogs and found temperaments of all were good. Coats seemed to be a bit hit and miss today as it seemed a lot of people had taken them out after Crufts! Movement was generally good and I only found one bad mouth. I was extremely pleased with my overall winners and feel they are good examples of a Border Terrier.
This dog caught my eye as he entered to ring as he has lovely show presence and his outline made him stand out. He was presented in super condition with a lovely grizzle harsh double jacket. Good reach of neck leading into super level topline. Good length and depth of rib and easily spanable. Nice straight front and good rear angulation. Overall a well balanced dog with a strong otter head. Well deserved BD and RBIS.
