Many thanks go to the exhibitors today for their support as terrier day at Darlington Ch Show is always on a Friday and this can be difficult for some coming on a working day.

Best Of Breed: Emblehope Dance and Dance JW
For breed type and conformation she fits the standard well, with the correct blue and tan coat and ticking, her jacket is harsh and the pelt is thick, she has a great otter head good dark eye with ears close to her cheek which gives her a true Border expression .With a lovely reach of neck running smoothly into a straight top line and a good tail set. She has the right amount of bone and a good narrow front with an easy span and the best of feet. On the move she covers the ground well. This bitch is very well balanced throughout presented in lovely body condition and certainly – fit for function.
DCC: CH Brackenfell Bok To Bach JW
Presented in first class order with his coat spot on today. He could do with carrying a little less weight which would be to his advantage. This dog has the very best of otter type heads with an excellent expression, this was the deciding factor that give him the Open class and C.C. Overall he is quite a strong dog he has a good top line and a good bend of stifle, showing on a loose lead he stands four square with ease if a little wide in front. Moving around the ring he covers the ground well and is a worthy Champion.
