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

Second Place in Limit - 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:

2years and rising .Another bitch I liked very much and who’s to say that on another day these placings may not be reversed. Very nice feminine head ,strong but not coarse. Super deep and well textured jacket. Front and rear assemblies were good. The total made for a pleasing profile. Covered the ground efficiently.
