KC Breed Standard Border Union 26 Judge	BORDER BORDER UNION 26 Judge: Mrs Clare Sansom (Tarkaswell) Dog Challenge Certificate 4080 - Botterox Flint JW (Miss S L Hillman) Reserve Dog Challenge Certificate 4088 - Arunmere Rhapsody in Red JW (Miss J Hughes) Bitch Challenge Certificate 4057 - Otterbobs Indeedido JW (Mr J R & Mrs H Gilpin) Reserve Bitch Challenge Certificate 4067 - Glebeheath Marigold (Mrs J Guvercin) Best Of Breed 4057 - Otterbobs Indeedido JW (Mr J R & Mrs H Gilpin) Best Puppy 4060 - Beaconpike Polus (Mr S & Mrs K Golding) Best Veteran 4113 - Ch Achouffe McKay’s Fable of Redesholt (Mrs S McKay) I would like to thank the officers and committee of the Border Union AS Championship Show for my invitation to judge the border terriers. This well organised show and beautiful ground have always been a favourite of mine and I have enjoyed exhibiting there very much. My stewards Judy Carr and Chris Woolner did an excellent job, efficiently keeping the ring moving so that I could concentrate on judging. My sincere thanks to the exhibitors for giving me such a super entry. Several classes gave me difficult decisions, and I would have liked some additional prize cards to award. There was a sporting atmosphere around the ring, and I was aware of applause for the winners and congratulations from other exhibitors. We were fortunate to be outdoors with dry weather. The ring was a reasonable size, although a little small for some of the classes with a large entry, particularly in limit bitch. Unfortunately, during judging I was aware of some disturbance between dogs in the ring next to us. Most border exhibits showed the excellent temperament that is so important within the breed and did not react to the aggression close by. One exhibit was unsettled, and I thank his handler for removing him from the ring and avoiding creating further tension. As to be expected, coats were in different stages of growth. A harsh, dense coat with close undercoat and a thick pelt is an important quality in the breed, and this did have an influence on some of my decisions. Finally, it has been a real privilege to judge such a quality entry. I was thrilled with my principal winners who I felt represented the breed very well. MPD (5,2) 1 Stowthorney Enter Sandman (Brewster & Green) Nearly eight month old grizzle and tan puppy, who appeared to relax and gain confidence as the class progressed. He had expressive dark eyes, well set ears and big teeth. His neck flowed into a level topline and well set tail. Narrow throughout, his ribs extended well back and he was presented in a full coat with lovely thick pelt. He moved out well, although at the moment is a little loose in front. 2 Kewhaigh Confession (Cummins). A blue and tan six month old puppy of good size and type. Another who had a lovely head and expression. Easily spanned, his ribs were carried well back and he was presented with a correct double coat and thick pelt. He moved out positively. 3 Otterbobs Garnett At Brandycrag (Black) PD (5) 1 Beaconpike Polus (Golding) This grizzle and tan puppy, rising nine months, had a strong masculine head, with dark eyes, neat, correctly set ears, and a short strong muzzle. His neck flowed into a level topline, with a deep, narrow body, strong loin and well set thick tail. His was presented in a full double coat with a lovely loose pelt. He moved out with a good reach of stride and I was pleased to award him BP. 2 Sandyfaulds Finn Mccool (Grassie). Another quality puppy, eleven months of age. He had a moderately broad head with dark eyes, v-shaped ears and a correct bite with big teeth. He had a good reach of neck which flowed into a deep narrow body. He was slightly longer than my winner but his ribs extended well back. He had a level topline and short well set on tail. He was presented in a harsh coat with a thick pelt. He moved out positively. 3 Elemcella Calvin Candie (Tait) JD (4,2) 1 Tomhome Im An Upstart For Raleniro (Lorraine) This red grizzle dog had a beautiful otter like head with dark expressive eyes, neat, well positioned ears and a short strong muzzle.

He had a thick, loose pelt with his top coat coming through. 2 Onziemehurst The Navigator (Nettle). A grizzle and tan dog with a dark eye and keen expression. A good reach of neck flowed into a deep body of moderate length. Narrow throughout, his ribs were carried well back but I preferred the topline of my winner on the move today. Although short of coat, his harsh top coat was coming through. YD (8,3) 1 Arunmere Rhapsody In Red JW (Hughes) A real showman, with great presence. He had a moderately broad head, dark eye with a keen expression and strong muzzle with large teeth. A good reach of neck flowed into a super topline with strong loin and well set tail.

I was pleased to award him the RDCC. 2 Bluebabel Your Song JW (Yates) This dog was beautifully presented and well handled.

He moved out soundly. 2 - Baillieswells Dalmunach (Milton) This grizzle dog was moderately broad in skull with a dark eye and neat ear. Built on narrow lines, he was deep and fairly long with his ribs carried well back.

I would like to thank the officers and committee of the Border Union AS Championship Show for my invitation to judge the border terriers. This well organised show and beautiful ground have always been a favourite of mine and I have enjoyed exhibiting there very much. My stewards Judy Carr and Chris Woolner did an excellent job, efficiently keeping the ring moving so that I could concentrate on judging. My sincere thanks to the exhibitors for giving me such a super entry. Several classes gave me difficult decisions, and I would have liked some additional prize cards to award. There was a sporting atmosphere around the ring, and I was aware of applause for the winners and congratulations from other exhibitors. We were fortunate to be outdoors with dry weather. The ring was a reasonable size, although a little small for some of the classes with a large entry, particularly in limit bitch. Unfortunately, during judging I was aware of some disturbance between dogs in the ring next to us. Most border exhibits showed the excellent temperament that is so important within the breed and did not react to the aggression close by. One exhibit was unsettled, and I thank his handler for removing him from the ring and avoiding creating further tension. As to be expected, coats were in different stages of growth. A harsh, dense coat with close undercoat and a thick pelt is an important quality in the breed, and this did have an influence on some of my decisions. Finally, it has been a real privilege to judge such a quality entry. I was thrilled with my principal winners who I felt represented the breed very well.
