BORDER JUDGE DARLINGTON 14

Border Terriers

I would like to thank the Darlington society for my invitation. The stewards were on the ball all day so I would like to thank them for making my day an easy one.

I would also like to thank the exhibitors for taking my decisions so sportingly.

However I feel that some exhibits would benefit from a little more food, feeding less does not make them any smaller!

One thing that particularly drew my attention was the dirty teeth in some of the younger exhibits, feet need improving by trimming nails. Nails on some were what a hawk would be proud of!

Also scissor cuts do not enhance a coat, we are not a trimmed breed we are a breed where hand stripping is paramount.
