First Place in Junior - Dog, Judge: Sarah Pateman (Lessien)
I would like to thank the committee for inviting me to judge their open show. Also, all the exhibitors for such an amazing entry and for allowing me to go over their lovely Border Terriers. It was a great day with a quality entry and a good atmosphere. I was aware people had travelled and some afar and I was given the opportunity not to take a break for lunch to allow those that were driving to possibly not have to drive in the dark, so I think it worked out well in the end. Lots of dogs out of coat but I was aware Crufts is coming up so the timing is crucial for coats to be ready for the big day.
B&T could not fault this lad, loved everything about him, loved his size, easily spanned even by my small hands, good mouth, correct length muzzle, ears and length of neck shoulder correctly angulated allowing him to cover the ground with ease, confident and moved with purpose, turned out and handled to high standard, in good harsh jacket and thick pelt, happy to award him RBD.
