First Place in Open - Bitch, Judge: Sarah Pateman (Lessien)

Show Critique:

First, I would like to thank the committee for inviting me to judge my breed the Border Terrier, then the Irish Terrier and all the handling classes.
This show was so friendly, and I was looked after from the minute I arrived till the moment I left.
Thank you, Tina Jones, for the delicious food and Richard Wright for being my steward for all my judging classes including the Irish Terriers and all the handling classes.
What an amazing entry I had although a few absentees the class of dogs present were of good quality, and I am very grateful to all exhibitors who entrusted in me to go over their dogs and accepting my decisions on the day

Placing Critique:

24/12/2019. Good to see this girl again, still gives me goosebumps when she enters the ring. True otter head, keen expression, dark eye, good lay of shoulder giving her the ability to cover the ground with drive behind. Although a bitch she has strength and correct bone for the job to the breed standard, very confidant happy and in unison with her handler which makes this pairing a joy to watch. Happy to award her BB, BOS and RBOB
