The Northern Border Terrier Club Open Show (05-10-2025)

First Place in Minor Puppy - Bitch, Judge: Libby Wain (Itsaso)

Show Critique:

I would like to thank the committee for inviting me to Judge their open show, the hospitality was fantastic. I would also all the exhibitors who entered allowing me the pleasure of going over their dogs. My stewards done an amazing job keeping the ring flowing throughout the day. Overall the quality of the entry was good; however my one observation is that we are beginning to lose correct front movement, with wide fronts or flicking at the pasterns creeping in.

Placing Critique:

More mature puppy in the class of promising babies. I liked her for overall balance. Sweet head with neat ears and kind expression. Strong jaw housing big teeth and correct bite. He neck flowed into a well laid back rib and strong loin. Good rear angulation which she used on the move which was accurate and more settled than second.
