First Place in Post Graduate - 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.
Feminine head with keen expression, this lovely bitch is alert with a straight front with enough width, good length of neck well set onto correct lay of shoulder and return of upper arm giving her enough forechest . Her ribs are well sprung and she is compact in body with muscular racy hindquarters and correct carrot like tail. Excellent harsh double coat. Moved with extension and drive.
