Please note the judge has requested no changes to the results and critiques below
I would like to thank The Border Terrier Club for the invitation & thank my 2 very capable Stewards Carolyn Richardson & Liz Barrett for their help on the day. I would also like to thank those exhibitors who entered under me and who accepted the placing’s sportingly. I was pleased to have a number of high quality entries but the down side of that is, some good dogs went card less
Mouths are a bit of a worry as I noticed a few with a tooth or teeth out of line, small teeth and one even undershot. Movement on the whole was good especially in my winners. Coats & Pelts were good too,with just a few thin pelted dogs.

1st - Glenbucket Whisky Mac (Mrs A Howard)
This dog is of attractive type and he moved out well with a good coat. however too much neck & chest hair spoiled his visual outline making him appear chunky which he isn’t when you get hands on him. I liked his head & expression.

A lovely red with no coat but showing a good racy outline, I liked his head. He wasn’t an happy showman on the day.

1st - Dandyhow Captain Morgan (Mrs K Irving)
Super dog, perfect sized Grizzle & tan dog of great type, I loved his head & expression. He was balanced, free moving & has a good rib, neat feet & good coat. Good muscle tone, he steps out well and has bags of breed type. This all made up a dog much better looking on the move than when stood still, he is the most reluctant showman when standing. However looking past him giving his handler a hard time He couldn’t be denied the Dog CC
2nd - Mysulan Going Solo JW (Mrs S J Baxter)
Very nice and attractive racy blue & tan carrying a good coat & pelt. Good bone and nice bend of stifle makes up a well balanced typy dog.
