First Place in Yearling - Dog, Judge: Mr A Horner (Stineval)
I would like to thank SCBTC and committee for the privilege of judging this years Championship show and thank my very capable steward Euan Castell for keeping the ring flowing and the exhibitors for their lovely entry. There were some really nice dogs for me to go over. But I must say that looking at them in general heads are starting to stray away from that of the border terrier, the other thing that I think needs addressing is the general cleanliness of their exhibits. I found three suspect mouths and two kinked tails . thank you one and all for an enjoyable day,
G/tan Lovely handy size and narrow throughout with a correct double jacket and loose pelt. Good otter head. Keen expression, good bite and dark eye. well angulated front construction, has excellent straight front legs and small well padded feet. Nice short tail, set well coming of a level topline. True on the move both ways and profile. Really liked this dog enough to award RCC.
