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

First Place in Puppy - Bitch, 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:

A grizzle and tan, head of good proportions, ears close to cheeks and set level with the skull. A moderate length of neck into a level topline, which she holds on the move. Enough depth of rib, with little tuck up. Correct tail, thick at base and of moderate length; hocks well let down, presented well in a harsh double coat.
