Best Puppy, Judge: Jane Eyeington (Meadowdale)
I would like to thank the officers and committee for their kind invitation to judge at this lovely show. It was such a shame that a ‘red alert’ for a storm was declared the day before the show, understandably meaning that the entries were hit hard. A huge thank you to all the exhibitors who braved the wind and rain to make it a super show. Delighted with the quality of dogs, it was an immense pleasure to have the opportunity to judge them. Spirits were high, which made for a lovely atmosphere.
Another puppy that stole my heart today, at just 6 months old and at her first show this Border Terrier bitch showed herself of with confidence and style. When stood she presents such a lovely outline, nothing is overdone, but shapely and very feminine. Lovely otter head, with dark mischievous eyes, short strong foreface and good bite. Good length of neck and a firm topline and super carrot tail. Her chest is well let down, but easily spannable. Shown with a good harsh texture to the coat. Smart and tidy on the move
