Scottish Border Terrier Club Open Show (01-06-2025)

First Place in Minor Puppy - Dog, Judge: Mrs Sue Spafford (Dassett)

Show Critique:

I would like to thank the Scottish Border Terrier Club for asking me to judge at the Open Show. Thank you to the ladies for a super lunch and Bill Shorthose for being my Steward for the day.
As always movement was variable with some very strange front actions. I found two kinked tails, a lack of coats in some dogs and also untidy coats, all had to be considered in the placings. That said I had a lovely day and enjoyed going over all the dogs that were entered.

Placing Critique:

Only just 6 months old, head maturing nicely with dark eye and keen expression. Good reach of neck, with level top line. Nice carroty tail set well, thick pelt, in double coat. Moved well for a young puppy.
