First Place in Special Beginners - Dog or Bitch, 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.
This young bitch has a feminine head with a lovely expression, short muzzle with a slight stop and moderate curve. She has the straightest of fronts with enough width and forechest. A good layback of shoulder, depth of rib, narrow throughout. Pliable pelt with coat is in excellent condition. Moved freely.
