The Southern Border Terrier Club Open Show (03-03-2024)

First Place in Junior - Dog, Judge: Miss Nicola Foster (Thozow)

Show Critique:

It was a great honour to be invited to Judge a Border Terrier Club Open show so I would like to thank the Southern Club for this opportunity. It was a day I had been looking forward too, so I would also like to thank the exhibitors for their entries, allowing me to access their dogs and for accepting my decisions. I was most grateful to my stewards Sian McKay & Marina Fleming who kept the ring running efficiently, and also live streamed the challenges and BIS.

Placing Critique:

Like this dog for balance and size. He has correct lay of shoulder, enough forechest with front legs placed under body. Keen expression, dark eye and well filled muzzle. Narrow throughout and has a good bend of stifle with hocks well let down. Thick pelt with correct double coat. Moved with drive, keeping his topline. RBD
