BORDER JUDGE CITY OF BIRMINGHAM 10

Border Terriers

This was a lovely entry, thanks to the sporting exhibitors & I send my good wishes for a speedy return to the ring to the scheduled judged Miss E D Rumsan. Coats were at all stages & I have to say that there were some which had no evidence of a second coat.

Mouths were good except for, unusually, one overshot. Temperaments appeared to be OK, although a few lack confidence & were hesitant. The green carpet helped to show up some wide fronts & movement which did not extend & lacked drive, needed to follow a horse.

All my placed dogs spanned comfortably. I was not happy with some exhibitors who were constantly feeding their dogs, even on the table.

VD (3)

1 Axford’s Barterhound Rhinestone, really thick loose skin with close hard coat, good head & bite, moved correctly;

2 Morton & Shaw’s Ch Fehmarn Magic Lantern, smart dog, good pelt, good head, lovely big teeth. Movement straight, but a bit lacking in drive;

3 Wrenn & Langdon’s Dandyhow Sir Toby.

MPD

1 Tuffin’s Withershins Del Boy at Oatberry, b/t of good outline & length of neck, correct mouth & bite, nice big teeth, moved well;

2 Docwra’s Bandicoot Double Take, good jacket, head & mouth. Does not hold topline so well on the move;

3 Fraser & Butler’s Ycart Beretta Twelve Gee.

PD (6)

1 Girling’s Benattivo Stitch In Time, a pleasing puppy, good pelt, but lacking outer coat. Liked his head & expression, movement good;

3 Cadman’s Studstaff Heartbeat at Junctionnine.

PGD (8,1)

3 Girling’s Benattivo Rosina.

OB (15,3)

Another good class headed by three super bitches, but others could well have been contenders.
