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

Second Place in Post Graduate - 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:

Light grizzle and tan rangy bitch. Lovely head with excellent teeth, strong muzzle, little stop and correct flat moderately broad skull. Good neck into well laid shoulders. Nice for size and bone and narrow throughout standing on well padded feet. Good shape of rib, good topline and tailset. The harshest of topcoats just coming through her thick undercoat. Nicely angulated racy hindquarters. Moved very true. RBB
