First Place in Open - 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 grizzle & tan is in excellent condition. Good head proportions with short strong muzzle, dark eye and correct bite. Straight forelegs placed under body with strong pasterns, good depth of body, ribs well back, spannable, strong in loin, muscular racy hindquarters. Loose thick pliable pelt, beautifully presented harsh double coat. This bitch really draws your attention on the move, with her balance, drive, and effortless movement.BB, BIS
