First Place in Open - 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 Top quality dog in pristine coat and hard working condition. exellent head with keen dark eye. Narrow front with tight feet. Good reach of neck flowing into well layed shoulders with excellent topline and tailset. Well angulated front and back, easily spanned. Moved and showed well. DCC RBIS
