First Place in Puppy - Dog, Judge: Mrs Sue Spafford (Dassett)
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.
Blue & Tan, nicely maturing head with strong muzzle. Scissor bite, good reach of neck flowing into a well set shoulder and level top line with tail well set, narrow, in good double coat and moved well.
