BORDER JUDGE LKA 14

Border Terriers

Though the standard calls for a narrow body I found many dogs who were too skinny & I could easily feel their ribs! Heads were quite disappointing, many had long weak muzzles not the proportions one associates with an Otters head. Many exhibits lack the small round foot & I doubt if they would cope with the exercise it needs to follow a horse. Coats were mixed & many just a seasonal problem.

MPD (8,1a)

1 Clarke’s Gameway McVitie, nicely balanced youngster who needs to mature on. Head not finished yet but he has a keen expression. Good balance, nice in neck & shoulders, would like him to carry more body at this age. Good coat & a sound youngster. BPD;

2 Lowry’s Ravenside Raise Your Glass, I liked this youngster but he needs to gain more ring confidence. Pleasing head & expression. Nicely balanced shape & good size for his age. Good amount of pelt & nice coat. Moves well;

3 North’s Bandicoot Jimmy Choo at Northborders.

PD (8)

1 Duxbury’s Ridgebow Rifleman, nice size & well balanced shape. He has a nice head & expression. Nice straight front, enough depth of body, good amount of bone & neat feet. In very good coat, nice mover both ways & showed well;

2 Holmes’ Barnby Caramel Wafer at Bimandi, very nice in head & expression. Lost out to 1 in shoulder, being a little heavier in type. Nice body, correct tailset & a sound mover who shows very well;

3 Lorraine & Thomas’ Raleniro Second Time Around.

JD (10,5)

1 Hollingsbee’s Otterwood Caius, bl/t of a nice size. He has a pleasing head & expression with well placed ears. Rangy with a good body & ribbing. Nice bone, good pelt & correct harsh coat. Moved well both ways & showed well;

2 Thorp’s Akenside Drummer, size larger than 1, one with a nice head & expression. Good body shape, good coat. A sound mover but not helping his handler today;

3 Metcalfe’s Dandyhow Friendly Fire at Chewinor.

YD (4,1)

1 Jackson’s Clipstone Starshine, nice head & expression, clean outline. Straight front, nice body with enough depth. Excellent turn of stifle, good bone & tight feet. Sound backend & quite a showman. He has plenty of pelt, unfortunately quite short of coat today;

2 Kelland’s Kyscafter Frosty Jack, expressive head piece with well placed ears. He has a mature well balanced body, nicely made hindquarters & he is a sound mover. Needs better showmanship;

3 Khatchikian’s Stonechaser Question.

PGD (6)

1 Waller’s Question Master, this is a nicely balanced dog. He has a nice head, correct head proportions with a keen expression & nice dark eye. Nicely made body with depth & ribbing. Strongly made backend with plenty of muscle & he uses it well. In a quality coat & good condition. Showed steadily;

2 Day’s Withershins Frankie, pleasing size & shape with a nice expressive head piece. He is very well made behind with a good turn of stifle, correct tailset. Sound mover with a tight coat; 3 Horton & Green’s Foxfactor Scotts Briar.

1 Goddard’s Kgills King Of Swing at Awbrooksky, nice dog of good type & a nice size. Liked his head, correct proportions & expression. Good neck & correct shoulder placement, straight front with good bone. Deep chest, narrow enough & well ribbed. Racy & balanced shape. He has a good turn of stifle & well muscled hindquarters, good feet too. Moving fluently both ways, with a good pelt & the correct harsh textured coat. Showed steadily, deserved the RCC;

2 Duxbury’s Keycharm Phantom by Ridgebow, larger in size than 1 & carrying a full coat didn’t help. He has a very nice head with the correct keen expression. Nice straight front, moved well both ways. Would like to see him in a shorter coat which will enhance his shape better;

3 Horton & Green’s Foxfactor Scotts Briar.
