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

First Place in Novice - 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:

15 months old B & T. Attractive feminine head, dark eye, well placed ears and good bite. Neat front assembly, good legs and feet. Liked her length of rib, she was easy to span and presented in a harsh jacket and good pelt. Was unplaced in a strong JB class as wasn’t moving confidently but settled well into this class and went around the ring like the owned it!
