First Place in Novice - Bitch, 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.
Now for me this Is my working type of border Terrier she could get anywhere, very smart grizzle, head ears eyes bite underjaw all A1 , narrow all through neat feet thick pads, so easily spanned thick pelt, moved well, When a breeder of Miss Roslin Williams shows under me I feel so humbled as I have been around a long time, and when I wanted to start showing Borders, this was the kennel that aspired me to go into the breed reading her books on the breed, that I admired so much Both Anns Mother, and Ann always had time to speak with you
