First Place in Open, Judge: Amanda Hall (Borderrush)
I would like to thank the committee of the Sporting Terrier Association of Yorkshire. For inviting me to judge the border terriers. A well run show, with some quality borders terriers to go over, and some lovely up and coming puppies. I would also like to thank the exhibitors for taking the time to bring their dogs under me.
2 years blue and tan dog. Strong masculine otter head, with dark eyes and neat ears. Correct bite with big teeth. Lovely reach of neck into good shoulder. Narrow straight front with small feet and thick pads. Well ribbed back with racy hindquarters. Easy to span. Strong loin with good front and rear angulation. Pelt ok and thick harsh jacket. Moved well holding his top with reach and drive; this dog could work all day. Pleased to award him reserve best of breed.
