The Southern Border Terrier Club Open Show (15-09-2024)

Second Place in Junior - Bitch, Judge: Mrs Sue Baxter (Mysulan/Sulan)

Show Critique:

I must start by thanking the committee for the invitation to judge at this lovely venue. The weather was kind to us and judging was able to take place outside , a fact I know so many exhibitors enjoy. My thanks also must go to my stewards , Rachel and Rhianne Mitchell , they certainly kept things running smoothly and were a big help keeping me on track ! Thanks ladies!
As usual , my gratitude to all who gave me entries and were able to turn up on the day , all very much appreciated .
I was presented with an array of lovely specimens and some classes made for some tough decisions .Several times I wished there were more red cards to award. The standard , I found, was very good and there was quality in depth in most classes. All males were intact , I found no kinked tails and most mouths were acceptable , coats , as usual , were in differing stages of growth and texture . All were spannable.

Placing Critique:

Yet another lovely young lady, 14 month old grizzle…Nice head with good dentition . Great proportions , loved her rib and loin size and configuration …coat, pelt etc all good. Rear angles slightly better than front, a little short in the upper forearm at this stage of her development .Moved well . Again Very well shown and presented.
