The Southern Border Terrier Club Open Show (30-11-2025)

Second Place in Minor Puppy - Dog, Judge: Mrs M Fleming (Flegato)

Show Critique:

A big thank you to the committee for inviting me to judge my breed at their lovely Christmas show. It was my first time judging at a breed club show and it couldn’t have gone any better – the welcome was amazing, my stewards were fantastic and the atmosphere felt so harmonious and friendly. A true club show atmosphere. I am also immensely grateful to the exhibitors who entered and let me go over their lovely dogs. Thank you all so very much, I had an amazing day.
Temperaments were good and all dogs were spannable. Coats were in different stages which is OK. A number of exhibits would benefit from a little less condition.

Placing Critique:

8 months old grizzle dog puppy, very excitable and happy. Head of correct proportions, dark ears and good bite. Good coat and loose pelt. Good for bone and easy to span. Was enjoying his day out which was lovely to see, just not easy to assess on the move in this class.
