First Place in Puppy - Dog, Judge: Libby Tanton-Joy (Itsaso)
Thank you to the committee for inviting me to judge their open show held at Jedburgh, the home of the border terrier. It was a great privilege, and I had some amazing dogs present who are a credit to their owners, thank you for bringing them.
Thank you to my stewards for organising the rings so smoothly and keeping me on track so we finished at a reasonable time. The hospitality was second to none and I would like to thank the whole committee for this.
10-month-old mature grizzle and tan puppy presented in top order, coat of correct texture with depth of undercoat and pelt in evidence. Typical head with well set ears, dark eye, strong jaw housing large teeth. Nice shoulder, front and rib making him very easy to span. Sound steady movement around the ring.
