The Midland Border Terrier Club Partnership Championship Show (08-05-2025)

First Place in Limit - Dog, Judge: Mr John Bainbridge (Risdene)

Show Critique:

Many thanks to the Midland committee for this appointment which l thoroughly enjoyed, despite the weather which sent us indoors after bitches. Many thanks to my stewards. As an aside l was pleased to see that moderately short tails are coming back! I was also pleased to find that three of the youngsters from the previous time l judged had developed as hoped and received top honours today. The exception was the outstanding dog which took BIS, my first time judging this one and what a treat! This blue and tan dog meets the standard so well, essentially a working terrier, the most important requirement of our breed, but with the quality of a top show dog .

Class Critique:

Best class of the day for depth of quality beyond even those placed.

Placing Critique:

Super red grizzle shown in harsh double coat who was my best puppy last time. So well made throughout, moves covering the ground well. Oh for two CCs!
