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

First Place in Junior - Bitch, 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:

elegant 15 months old B & T with lots to like – feminine head with moderately broad skull, dark eye, flat skull and good bite. Ultra narrow throughout, she has a good length of rib, very easy to span and light to pick up; well angulated front and rear. Excellent harsh jacket with plenty of silver, and thick loose pelt. Presents a beautiful outline standing and moved out well. Liked her very much. Reserve Best Bitch.
