Border Terriers

A good entry with lots of quality Borders in both sexes. It was the last time I shall judge the breed at this level & I enjoyed every minute. It was particularly pleasing to see how much movement had improved since the last time I judged.

MPD (2)

1 Wallace’s Hobbolt Helmsman, little more forward in coat than 2, well coupled with nice neck, shoulders, front, legs & feet, good skull & eyes, very good teeth;

2 Robinson’s Hollinholme Huntsman, liked eyes & muzzle, basically well made. Can tighten in feet. Both still a little weak in hindquarters but 1 had the edge in front.

PD (5,3a)

1 Sneddon’s Chesterton Top Hat And Tails by Kersfell, nicely balanced head, good neck, shoulders & front, nice topline. Could be little better coupled;

2 Spencer’s Cobstoneway River Magic, pleasing head, muzzle & eyes, nice bone & ribs, good coat texture. Could be little better muscled & 1 had edge in shoulders.
