First Place in Open - Bitch, 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 Beautiful otter head that is not overdone in anyway. A lovely dark eye with a keen but varminty expression. Big teeth set in a strong jaw. Lovely neck flowing into correct shoulders. Good length of rib. Shown in a good harsh waterproof double jacket with plenty of thick pliable pelt. Moved with reach and drive always. Pleased to award her the Bitch CC and Best of Breed.
