The Yorkshire, Cheshire & Lancashire Border Terrier Club Open Show (24-01-2026)

First Place in Junior - Bitch, Judge: Jane Eyeington (Meadowdale)

Show Critique:

I would like to thank the officers and committee for their kind invitation to judge at this friendly and well-organised show. To all the exhibitors, it was a true honour to assess your wonderful dogs, with many decisions being closely contested. I thoroughly enjoyed my day—thank you. I would also like to thank my hard-working stewards, Julie & Ian, for keeping the day running smoothly.

Placing Critique:

Attentive and full of spirit, 13-month-old bitch who shows herself off to advantage. Standing, she displays a lovely, feminine silhouette of ideal size, enhanced by a harsh double coat and thick pelt. Her head is well balanced, with good width of backskull, a strong, short muzzle, and a correct scissor bite. She has a good length of neck and the right amount of forechest and bone. Her brisket is well let down, with ribs that are spannable and carried well back. While her topline is not quite as firm today at times in profile as the Limit bitch, her racy quarters and low-set hocks enable her to drive powerfully around the ring. RBB
