First Place in Novice - Bitch, 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.
July 2022, G&T Nice to see this girl again, she improves every time I have seen her in the ring, dark keen eye, good mouth, ear set and shallow stop, correct lay of shoulder and length of rib, good rear angulation, correct tail set and top line, good harsh jacket easily spanned. Deserved her place today.
