First Place in Novice - 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 bitch has a kind expressive eye with a moderate width of skull and ears folded close to cheeks, enough length of neck, clean forequarters, is narrow throughout with ribs carried well back. Hocks are well let down, spannable with a thick pliable pelt, and harsh coat. Moved freely.
