Oswestry & District Kennel Association Open Show (20-07-2025)

First Place in Open, Judge: Jo Hughes (Arunmere)

Show Critique:

I’d like to thank the Oswestry committee for inviting me to judge Border Terriers —I was so pleased with the entry, and would like to thank all the exhibitors who entered. I was very impressed with the overall quality of the dogs. Some of the deisions weren’t easy, especially in the puppy class where there was so much promise on show. Most coats were in good order, with just one that had been recently stripped, and movement was generally good, even with the ring being a little on the small side, I could access movement.

Placing Critique:

Outstanding grizzle dog with commanding ring presence, one I’ve long admired ringside. Exemplary masculine otter head with expressive dark eye, strong muzzle, correct dentition. Presented in good jacket, well-constructed throughout, racy hindquarters; moved with purpose around the ring, worthy Champion, pleased to award BOB
