The Scottish Border Terrier Club Limited Show (26-01-2014)

First Place in Puppy - Bitch, Judge: Mrs Elizabeth Barrett (Howthwaite)

Show Critique:

I would like to thank the committee of the Scottish BTC for their warm welcome and hospitality. Thank you also to my ring stewards Joyce Orr and Helen McKenzie for keeping things running smoothly. I am grateful to those exhibitors who braved the weather to attend the show. All the dogs were entire and mouths were very good. Coats were on the whole just on their way in which I expected just before the coming show season. A number of exhibits were carrying rather too much condition for a fit functional terrier.

Placing Critique:

Nice typey grizzle and tan. Feminine but workmanlike head with very good bite. Lovely bone right through her pasterns to her good feet. Good ribs and strength of loin and easily spanned. Lovely short thick tail. Coat just coming in but in a good undercoat and thick pliable pelt. Excellent rear angulation with strong well let down hocks. Very balanced and true on the move, I think she has a bright future.
