First Place in Open - 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.
Jan 2021, G&T, turned out very well, pretty bitch, good otter head and wonderful side profile, shallow stop, neatest of ears, strong neck of correct length into good shoulder and length of rib, good angulation front and rear, perfect narrow front, topline straight and good tail set, tail of correct length, smallest of feet and thick pads, easily spanned, handled well and moved with purpose. Happy to award her BB, RBOB and RBIS
