Second Place in Junior, Judge: Siân McKay (Redesholt)
Many thanks to the committee of Bridgend and District Kennel Association for the invitation to judge Border Terriers at their well run and friendly show. My thanks also extend to the cheerful and efficient Stewards, and exhibitors, who appeared to take my decisions with good grace. All exhibits were sound in temperament and with no kinked tails or unacceptable bites.
11-month-old Grizzle and tan bitch. Much to like about this young girl. Super, feminine head with kind dark expressive eyes, strong jaw with big teeth and a correct scissor bite. Larger cast than 1 but perfectly in proportion and sporting a cracking thick coat and pelt. Another with correct ratios throughout and a good underline. Ribs well back and good set on of tail. Just pipped at the post today as not as positive and forward on the move today as 1, which was then reflected in her reach and drive. I am sure time and experience will bring this on.
