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

First Place in Open - 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:

4 year old bitch who is balanced throughout. Attractive head with a strong muzzle housing big teeth and a correct bite. Neck flowed into a good lay of shoulder. Well ribbed back into a strong loin. Correct angulation both front and rear she moved out with drive and true. She held her topline well on the move which was finished off with a short well set tail. Presented in a thick harsh coat with good pelt.
