First Place in Post Graduate - Bitch, Judge: Heather Chaplin
As a former Chairman of this Society, I was delighted to receive an invitation to judge the Border Terriers at their Centenary Show. Thank you to the Secretary and the Committee for inviting me and to my stewards for keeping the ring running smoothly and efficiently at this well attended show. A very high quality and numerous entry awaited me, which was a wonderful challenge to have, so my sincere thanks to all the exhibitors who entered their lovely dogs under me and who accepted my decisions with good grace and sportsmanship. All dogs present were spannable and had good bites as well as exceptional temperaments and were a real pleasure to go over. I was thrilled when my BOB was awarded Terrier Group 1 and I was very pleased with all my class winners and placings. I very much enjoyed my day, so thank you everyone!
Compact but well made 2 years and 9 months grizzle bitch. Attractive, feminine head and expression. Correct bite and large teeth. Well balanced throughout with good front and rear angulation. Body of good depth but still narrow. Easily spanned. Ribs well laid back. Good rear assembly. Straight movement front and back. Coat thick and coarse with good pelt. Liked her a lot and she had the edge for me in this class. RBB.
