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

Second Place in Maiden - 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:

7 month old puppy who was presented in a good coat with thick pelt. Okay in head with a dark eye and neat ears. I would prefer a bit more length of muzzle but she had big teeth and a correct scissor bite. Nice in body with a good lay of rib which was easily spanned. Nice rear angulation however she was being a typical puppy and enjoying her day.
