Second Place in Junior - Bitch, Judge: Dr Ian Gabriel (Gaybryl)
Many thanks for the lovely entry, both in terms of quality and quantity. I thoroughly enjoyed my day with the Border Terriers. When I last judged I felt there were too many with houndy large ears, this did not seem to be replicated in today’s entry which was pleasing and expression was generally much improved. What I did notice was that front action is something that we need to watch. Being Manchester and the last Championship show pre Crufts there were quite a few dogs who had been stripped in preparation and quite a few out of coat. In part that did play a part in some of my fineer placings.
Another quality bitch that pushed 1 quite hard. Another who is very good in overall make and shape. She is not too big and the right size for a bitch. I just preferred the overall expression on 1. Another in good jacket and good hard muscular condition. Excellent on the move oved better than others in the class
