First Place in Yearling - Dog, Judge: Miss Nicola Foster (Thozow)
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.
Repeat entry (see Junior Dog). He is a little rangier than I prefer, but he is balanced with a good lay of shoulder, level topline, spannable with racy hindquarters. Dark eyes, with a flat broad skull and ears are well set. Nicely presented dog, in correct jacket, moves out well.
