First Place in Open - Dog, Judge: Miss Katie Hamilton (Cromlechs)
Firstly I would like to thank the Birmingham National Dog Show committee for inviting me to judge the Border Terriers for them. It was a great honour and I was so pleased to recieve a super entry and overall a lovely quality of exhibits to judge on the day. Special thanks also goes to my stewards that helped my day run so smoothly and efficiently.
Smart Grizzle Dog who owns the ring and enjoys being there. Lovely head and expression with good dentition, strong muzzle and dark eye. Good reach of neck placed on a correct shoulder and straight front. Ribs well laid back and easily spanned. Level topline leading to a short carrot shaped tail that is held beautifully standing and on the move. Good rear angulation on well muscled racy hindquarters. Moved well.
