Second Place in Limit - 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 blue and tan bitch in top condition and in great coat. Similar size and shape to 1, another good front and length of rib. Lovely topline leading to correct tail set. Well balanced with good angulation. Moved well, shame she came up against the winner as I do like this bitch.
