Second Place in Limit - 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 blue and tan who pushed 1 very hard. I thought she was excellent for overall type. Another in excellent hard condition who clearly exercises and who was in good top coat. Nice bone and feet for a bitch. Good depth of chest. Ribs well ribbed back and not too sprung. Just slightly longer cast than one. Moved well
