First Place in Open - 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.
A dog that catches your eye as he enters the ring. Having judged this dog twice before I still like his size, narrowness and lines, moves well around the ring but lacking in coat today to complete the picture. RBD
