First Place in Maiden - Bitch, 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.
Lovely bitch of nice size and in good coat. Good strong head with strong muzzle. Good narrow front and with nice depth of rib. Good length of rib and lovely topline leading into correct tail set and carrot shaped tail. Good mover on neat tight feet. RBB
