First Place in Open - Bitch, 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.
Quality bitch, good otter head, straight front, small feet, level top line, well set tail. Narrow throughout, good hind angulation, moved well. Would have liked to have awarded further honours but lacking in coat today.
