First Place in Limit - 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 2-year-old blue and tan owned the ring from the moment she walked in and went on to become my Best In Show. My notes really only say one thing – She moves – which comes from being made right. Large teeth in a correct scissor bite housed in a strong jaw. Dark eye and small ears all give to an appealing head and varminty expression. She is balanced throughout, standing straight in the front with good rear angles that she really powers from on the move. Presented in fantastic coat of texture depth and pelt.
