Border	LKA 12 Judge's Critique
KC Breed Standard LKA 12 Judge	BORDER LKA 12 Judge: Ms Michelle Barnett BEST OF BREED : 6527 GOLDING Mr & Mrs Beaconpike In A Storm Dog CC : 6611 STOCKLEY Mr B J & Mrs K D Ch Foxfactor Pied Piper JW Sh.CM Res Dog CC : 6474 BAILEY Mrs M A Ch Grindelvald In Full Cry JW Bitch CC : 6527 GOLDING Mr & Mrs Beaconpike In A Storm Res Bitch CC : 6548 JENKINS Miss L M Badgerbeck Prediction Best Puppy : 6485 BRANNAN, Mr P M & KELLY Miss M Cedarhill Rising Star At Brankell Best Veteran : 6525 GOLDING Mr & Mrs Master Minstral At Beaconpike Best Breeder : BORDER JUDGE LKA 12 I was honoured to judge at this what i consider a BIS of championship shows.I would like to extend my thanks to the society for the invite, the warm hospitality and friendly relaxed atmosphere made for a superior judging experience. Also much thanks to my ring steward Mr Eddie Bishop, who did a splendid job in his management of the ring in a professional and efficient manner. A super entry of 188 which understandably presented me with many varieties of type.Mouths across the entry were good with only one level bite. A few with chipped teeth and the missing tooth (which should not penalise all things being equal an otherwise quality exhibit in a working breed) no kinks in tails and all males were entire. It was also pleasing to see more shown in the correct double jacket, but sadly some of dogs that appealed to me for breed type paid the penalty as although their jackets pleased for depth they lacked the weatherproof quality essential in a working terrier coat. I was very pleased to see my entry thankfully lacking the "showy boxy terrier types" of late. It was a pleasure to judge dogs of correct border type, temperament, fit , healthy exhibits who were presented in such good condition. Needless to say the exhibits were a credit to their owners and throughout the day the quality was first rate making lots of my decisions close ones with many leaving without a placing. The puppy classes in particular were numerical high and it was a pity I had to discard many good exhibits of the breed. But this quality can only bode well for the future. It was also nice to be told that the exhibits in the Good citiztens classes apart from gaining a good citizen award the entry also had dogs who took part in Obidience, Agility and Gundog send aways proving once again that borders can really turn their paw to all manner of activities outside of their already busy show calender. I felt that my princple winners fulfilled the "Essentially a working terrier" breed standard requirement with that extra something that makes top winner. I was delighted to learn that i had the top entry in the terrier group Thank you to all the exhibitors for the super entry, particuarly appreciated in these difficult economic times and for making it such an enjoyable day.

BORDER JUDGE LKA 12

I was honoured to judge at this what i consider a BIS of championship shows.I would like to extend my thanks to the society for the invite, the warm hospitality and friendly relaxed atmosphere made for a superior judging experience.
Also much thanks to my ring steward Mr Eddie Bishop, who did a splendid job in his management of the ring in a professional and efficient manner.
A super entry of 188 which understandably presented me with many varieties of type.Mouths across the entry were good with only one level bite.
A few with chipped teeth and the missing tooth (which should not penalise all things being equal an otherwise quality exhibit in a working breed) no kinks in tails and all males were entire.
It was also pleasing to see more shown in the correct double jacket, but sadly some of dogs that appealed to me for breed type paid the penalty as although their jackets pleased for depth they lacked the weatherproof quality essential in a working terrier coat. I was very pleased to see my entry thankfully lacking the "showy boxy terrier types" of late.
It was a pleasure to judge dogs of correct border type, temperament, fit , healthy exhibits who were presented in such good condition. Needless to say the exhibits were a credit to their owners and throughout the day the quality was first rate making lots of my decisions close ones with many leaving without a placing.
The puppy classes in particular were numerical high and it was a pity I had to discard many good exhibits of the breed. But this quality can only bode well for the future.
It was also nice to be told that the exhibits in the Good citiztens classes apart from gaining a good citizen award the entry also had dogs who took part in Obidience, Agility and Gundog send aways proving once again that borders can really turn their paw to all manner of activities outside of their already busy show calender.
I felt that my princple winners fulfilled the "Essentially a working terrier" breed standard requirement with that extra something that makes top winner.
I was delighted to learn that i had the top entry in the terrier group Thank you to all the exhibitors for the super entry, particuarly appreciated in these difficult economic times and for making it such an enjoyable day.

1st: GOLDING Mr & Mrs Beaconpike In A Storm, This bitch was everything I was looking for and right from the moment she entered the ring she commanded it ...and me!. Beautiful otter head and true varmity expression, all border she oozes breed type,so beautifully balanced throughout the body.She has the neatest of feet small and well padded. She came to hand with ease finished off with a good carroty tail.Shown in such fit condition well muscled and hard and presented in first order her rich red coat was perfect the harshest of topcoats,plenty of undercoat, it was that dense that you could hardly see her skin and combined with a thick pliable pelt offering her the very best protection. Stunning movement and when she hit her stride i couldnt take my eyes off her. Not difficult to imagine this one following a horse and being the correct size and span filling the requirement of an earthdog. Delighted to award her the BCC her 1st top award and look forward to the day she gains her worthy title she won BOB by virtue of her movement which in the challenge was effortless. To coin her name she simply "stormed "around the ring. I wish her all the best.

2nd: SOUTH Mrs P Tameila Penny Lane By Borderella This is a lovely bitch of beautiful breed type who just lacked the sparkle of the top winners today was later to learn she is not long off a litter so maybe some baby blues to blame for her lack lustre really impressed me one who has to be handled to be fully appriceated and no shame to be 2nd to the BOB of the day When on form could easily see me awarding her a higher honour .
