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

Second Place in Post Graduate - 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:

typy 2 year old red grizzle dog, with a very attractive masculine head, dark neat ears and correct bite. Plenty of texture in his topcoat, good pelt. Bigger stamp of a dog than the winner but spannable. Moved very well, particularly excels in a very accurate and straight front movement.
