First Place in Junior - Dog, Judge: Jo Hughes (Arunmere)
Firstly, I would like to thank the committee for inviting me to judge Border Terriers. I was very pleased with the entry and would like to thank the exhibitors for bringing their dogs, as well as my stewards, who kept everything running smoothly.
Overall, the dogs were presented in good condition. Coats were generally very good, with some approaching the end of their best. Movement was varied, and puppies in the early classes were understandably distracted by activity in the neighbouring ring. All dogs were entire, with no kinks; however, two exhibits were found to have misaligned teeth.
Beautiful, eye catching grizzle of 14 months, with an attractive otter head and expression. Strong muzzle, good dentition, and neck flowing into a smooth topline coupled with well set tail. Crisp jacket, balanced throughout, positive mover. Pleased to award him BOB.
