First Place in Yearling - Dog, Judge: Mr Brian Aubrey (Jenabeck)
Thank you all for a wonderful entry especially for a Thursday, I found the Bitches better in Quality than the Dogs on the day, I feel I can speak little about what I found as I have worked them, shown them and bred them, But I wont criticize, has many showing this wonderful breed forgotten more than I know, but its my observation on the day,
There were a few I really liked but lacked jackets on the day, I found a few with ears to big, and some needed more power moving from behind, but that can be improved, please don’t over stretch when you stacking them, And now my biggest bugbear please don’t keep shoving bait into their mouths when a judge is trying to go over their heads this is happening a lot now why I don’t know, never seen it so bad as lately but in most terrier exhibitors, moan over lol, Also thank you to both my stewards Gavin Argyle and Penny Winger, who done an amazing job Thank you both.
When this dog came into the ring in full jacket, I thought he looks ok but looked a bit stuffy in neck, and this where judges should not prejudge as I did until you put your hands on them
wow for me he screams Border terrier cracking otter head, correct bite strong underjaw, well boned front standing on good feet, thick pads, correct shoulders leading in a good length of neck not stuffy what’s so ever, and good topline, strong rear quarters moved really well No hesitation in giving him the CC his second I was told third cant be far away
