First Place in Open - Bitch, 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 headed bitch, good bite, firm topline, well laid shoulder, good length of rib, good angulation, excelled in harsh jacket today, profuse but didn’t detract from her outline, sound movement.
