First Place in Post Graduate - 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.
Smart B&T of good size and outline. Masculine head with good dentition and ample jacket. Narrow throughout with a well set short carrot tail. Nicely angulated, racy hindquarters without exaggeration.
