First Place in Novice - 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.
Correct otter head with dark eye and neat well placed ears, good bite. Straight front with adequate width. Muscular neck, good body depth, short muscular loin, tail thick at base and of moderate length. Moved with a good length of stride.
