The Border Terrier Club Open Show (24-02-2024)

Second Place in Limit - Dog, Judge: Libby Tanton-Joy (Itsaso)

Show Critique:

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.

Class Critique:

Close decision between 1 and 2 in this class

Placing Critique:

Similar remarks apply to this grizzle dog another presented in good coat and condition. Attractive head with small ears, correct bite with large teeth. He is narrow but with scope, moved well but I felt he never quite got going in the ring today.
