First Place in Post Graduate, Judge: Mrs M Fleming (Flegato)
Thank you to the committee for inviting me to judge my favourite breed at their premier show (one of my favourite open shows where I stewarded so many times before) and to Yorkshire Lancashire and Chesire Border Terrier Club for supporting the entry. The original invite was for the previous year but, sadly, the show was cancelled due to bad weather ruining the show ground. This year the weather just about held out for the first part of the day before the heavens opened soaking everyone, as forecasted. Thank you to the exhibitors who entered and to those who braved the forecast and attended and let me go over your lovely borders.
Blue and tan male just under 2 years of age. Masculine head, moderately broad in skull, and very little stop, kind dark eye with keen expression. Good bite. Well angulated front and rear, narrow and easy to span. Admired his solid topline on the move. Very nice border and best mover of the class. Coat could have been tidied to his advantage today. RBOB.
