Second 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/t, sound dog with well laid shoulders good length of rib and strong loin nice topline and tail set, masculine head with well set ears , moved well both ways and in profile, just didn’t have that look at me today. But still worth his title.
