BORDER JUDGE SKC 10

Border Terriers

I was sorry to see a few exhibits with straight shoulders which affects front movement & a few with incorrect mouths. However, on the positive side there was a lot of quality & correct size in the breed, which were fit for function.

Unfortunately the grass in the ring was very long, which made it difficult to access movement.
