Second Place in Veteran - 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.
Dec 2016, G&T, another pretty bitch, good mouth shallow stop, good otter head, correct lay of shoulder and narrow front, level topline, good tail set and tail length, turned out well and handled nicely. Another happy to still be in the ring.
