First Place in Post Graduate - Bitch, 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.
This bitch really took my eye when entering the ring and she didn’t disappoint. She is such a lovely size and very easy to span. Her blue and tan coat has depth and texture. Varminty expression, strength of jaw, large teeth and small ears give to a typical head. She is very balanced with nothing overdone, straight font, neat feet and lovely rib and loin. Moved effortlessly around the ring, pleased to award her reserve best bitch.
