BORDER JUDGE WINDSOR 17

Firstly, my thanks must go to the committee for the invitation to judge at their show and to those exhibitors who entered, for my opinion, always an honour, to judge their dogs, giving me the highest entry in the Terrier Group. My thanks, also, to my stewards, who kept things running smoothly, with good humour.
An interesting entry, most were sound and typical. The thing that struck me most was front profile movement. An alarming number, due to an incorrect shoulder and upper arm placement, lacked full reach on the move, the leg lifting, hackney like, but not straightening out to reach full extension on the move. It may appear to be accurate coming and going, but it doesn’t actually cover much of the ground, so is therefore uneconomical movement, meaning the dog would have to work twice as hard to keep up, as the Standard asks for “capable of” and the “soundness to follow a horse”. Just because it’s possible to win with this type of movement doesn’t make it correct!
I was very pleased with my top winners, shown free standing, giving the, in my opinion, correct outlines, with no need to “assemble“ them in to a shape! All were sound, free movers. Typical “old school” Border Terriers! Pleased to hear that their qualities were recognised in their respective Groups!

Veteran - Dog Entries: 3 Absentees: 1

1st - Stowthorney Swinging Sam ShCM (Mr R Brewster & Ms J Green) Grizzle & tan. Typical head & expression. Good front, feet, neck & shoulder.Super topline, which he held on the move, with good tailset. Good hindquarters, used to advantage. Good coat & pelt, presented in excellent order. Sound, free mover.

2nd - Colourbox Gunpowder (Mrs L A Fordham) Blue & tan. Typical head & expression. Straight front with good feet. Good hindquarters. Excellent coat & pelt. Not quite the tail set of 1st, but moved out well.

Minor Puppy - Dog Entries: 3 Absentees: 0

1st - Kyscafter Equinox (Miss M Newman) Grizzle & Tan. Typical head & expression. Excellent neck, shoulder, front & feet, topline, tail set & hindquarters. Good profile movement. Just hope he doesn’t grow on.

2nd - Mysulan Mythical Mylo (Mrs S J Baxter) Blue & Tan. Giving a lot away here, in maturity, as he’s a raw baby. Typical head & expression. Good neck, shoulder, front & feet. Good coat & pelt. Just needs to settle in front movement, quite correct for his age.

3rd - Jrasamuyr Codex (Miss C Khatchikian)

Puppy - Dog Entries: 2 Absentees: 0

1st - Baillieswells Glengyle At Glebeheath (Mrs J Guvercin) Grizzle & Tan.Excellent, otter like, head & expression. Good neck, shoulder, front & feet. Excellent topline & tailset. Racy hindquarters. Super harsh double coat, which was beautifully presented. Excels on the move, keeping his super outline. Handy size and a real showman. Best Puppy & Res CC. Delighted to hear he went Group 3 in the Terrier Puppy Group!

2nd - Tarkaswell Smart Move To Otterwood (Mr M J & Mrs J M Hollingsbee) Darker Grizzle & Tan. Typical head & expression. Front straight, but could be a shade narrower. Good topline & tailset. Good hindquarters. In excellent coat. Just not so coordinated, on the move, as the 1st.

Junior - Dog Entries: 7 Absentees: 0

1st - Wintergarden Fly's Finale to Manorcroft (Mr D J Bean) Light Grizzle & Tan. Exceptional, otter like, head & expression, with moderately broad skull and short, strong muzzle, with a keen, dark eye. Small V- shaped ears dropping forward close to the cheek. Excellent neck, shoulder, front & feet. Lithe, narrow body, with ribs carried well back. Easily spanned. Racy hindquarters. Super topline and tail set, with a good, well carried tail. Excelled on the move, keeping his outline, and showing correct reach and drive. No doubting that he would be capable of following a horse! Super handy size and presented to perfection in a harsh double coat. A real showman, who can only get better with maturity, loved him! Pleased to award him his first CC.

2nd - Lynsett Lewis (Mr P Armstrong) Blue & Tan. Typical head & expression. Good neck, shoulder, front & feet. Excellent topline & tailset. Super hindquarters. Very sound on the move, keeping his outline. Super coat and pelt, put down in excellent order. Called him back to challenge for the Res CC, but he wasn’t quite so collected, as he had been in the class, due to being rushed back, so lost out to the exceptional puppy, who was giving his all. Should have a bright future.
