East Anglia Border Terrier Club Open Show (16-11-2024)

Second Place in Post Graduate - Bitch, Judge: Sarah Pateman (Lessien)

Show Critique:

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.

Placing Critique:

July 2019, G&T, another good stamp of a bitch of correct size, very pretty, correct mouth, shallow stop, small tight feet and thick pads, good top line and tail set, wonderful thick harsh jacket and thick lose pelt, moved well. Not a lot between my first and second placings with these two.
