First Place in Puppy - Dog, Judge: Sarah Stephenson (Fryerfold)
I would like to express my thanks to the committee of Wellingborough & District Canine Society for my invitation to judge Border Terriers at their show. Also to my lovely stewards Jo & Paul, for being so helpful and efficient. I am grateful to the exhibitors for their entry and accepting my decisions with good sportsmanship.
8 month old, grizzle & tan puppy, slightly out of coat on the day but it was coming through, thick pelt. Masculine head, moderately broad skull, with ears dropping close to the cheek, correct scissor bite. Narrow and easily spanned, standing on well padded, neat feet. Nothing exaggerated and nicely proportioned. With good angulation front and rear that allowed for lovely drive and reach on the move. Beat his sister for BP, but delighted to see he was awarded Terrier Puppy Grp 4.
