Results

Firstly,I would like to thank everyone for a lovely entry and also to the Scottish BTC for this opportunity .Special thanks goes to my two stewards for the day who kept everything running smoothly and for their good company. Although the lighting in the hall isn’t the best,it was adequate and the large square ring was perfect for watching movement,something I feel is very important in a border terrier. On that note I found my main winners to excel in this department.I was pleased to judge some strong puppy classes and also some strong adult classes

Critique

Judge: Mrs V Atkinson (Raedwulf)

Entries: 65 dogs making 84 entries

Thank you so much to the society for inviting me to judge this wonderful show. To my steward, Judy Carr, thank you for running my ring so efficiently, especially in the heat. Thanks must go to the ladies for our delicious lunch too. I was presented with some super examples of the breed and there were some tough decisions, especially in the bitches. I do  also think the heat affected the performance of some as the day progressed.  On the whole mouths were good, but a couple of very knotted tails and some dogs I was unable to span, even with generous allowance which would preclude them from fulfilling the breed standard of ‘essentially a working terrier’.

Minor Puppy - Dog

Entries: 2   Absentees: 1

1st - Otterbobs Mozergh Into Cundytyke (Mr & Mrs Shorthose)

8 month old grizzle and tan pup, nice size for age. Broad across the skull but not as strong in muzzle. Correct scissor bite and dark eye. Front movement a little loose, I’m sure this will improve with maturity. Evidence of second thigh developing. Level top line and well set on tail. Easily spannable and with pliable pelt. A little short in coat but coming through and what was there was of good texture.

Puppy - Dog

Entries: 2   Absentees: 1

1st - Whits Fur Ye At Todlaws (Miss S Todd)

Confident pup presented in coat. Nice head with well placed ear although a tad large at the moment. Dark eye and strong muzzle, correct bite. Balanced dog with well set carroty tail. Very positive movement and easily spanned, would have liked tighter feet but I’m aware this is a pup still developing. BPD

Junior - Dog

Entries: 2   Absentees: 0

1st - Rainsbarrow Thistle (Miss J Young & Mr P McCluskey)

Grizzle and tan dog, moderate width of skull with correct bite. Nice reach of neck leading to acceptable shoulder placement and top line. Strong loin and well-muscled rear, nice bend of stifle enabled plenty of drive. Chest a little deep but spannable and in good coat.

2nd - Whittonglebe Poacher (Mr G & Mrs J Mackenzie)

Excellent head on this dog. Strong muzzle, shallow stop, dark eye and small, well placed ear. Nice shoulder placement but front movement not as positive as my winner. Spannable with slightly shorter rib cage resulting in a longer loin. Coat coming through.

Yearling - Dog

Entries: 4   Absentees: 0

1st - Upend Country Lad At Jacraila (Mrs I Nicol)

Good head on this grizzle and tan dog, all in proportion with correct bite. Straight front, OK for rib and spannable, rear well muscled. Harsh jacket and pliable pelt. Unsettled on the move to begin with but once settled his movement was good and with purpose.

2nd - Ravenside Run To Me At Sandyfaulds (Mr G Grassie)

Similar comments apply as to my winner in this class but this dog didn’t quite have the strength of jaw as my winner and his front movement wasn’t quite as positive.

Special Beginners - Dog

Entries: 1   Absentees: 0

1st - Ravenside All In One Night (Mr S J Richardson)

Broad skull with shallow stop and strong jaw. Presented in plenty of coat. Heavier set dog with a lot of bone he was broad across the shoulder and deep in chest I found him difficult to span.

Broad skull with strong muzzle and excellent bite with large white teeth and a strong underjaw. He had good reach of neck and excellent shoulder placement. Easily spannable and with strong loin he had a level top line and well set tail. He was in hard condition. Once his handler gained the co-operation of this dog he really powered around the ring. I was very pleased to award him first in this class and BIS.

2nd - Hollexby Travellin Man (Mr P Appleby)

Bigger dog than my winner and deeper in chest but was easy to span. He has a broad skull and correct bite, strong neck and level top line. Plenty of coat and in good condition he moved well with nice rear angulation.

He moved straight both ways, I liked him a lot. RBD

A mature pair who were completely in sync with each other in size and movement. They didn’t put a foot out of step and matched each other for pace responding well to their handler, very impressive to watch.

Appleby

Not quite as matched in size as my winner. They stood well together but couldn’t match the balanced movement of my winner.

Main Winners with Judge Eddie Houston at the 36th Championship show 

I won my first Crufts qualifier at this show 25 years ago and it has always been one of my favourites. It was an honour to be invited to judge and my thanks go to the Scottish Club for their hospitality. Thanks also to my very capable stewards Bill Shorthose and Judy Carr.My sincere thanks to all those who entered and allowed me the privilege of going over their dogs.

Today I found there to be a much greater depth of quality among the bitches with there being many promising puppies and some very nice animals in the upper classes,particularly limit and open. This depth of quality was not apparent in a number of the dog classes although I was pleased with my main winners.

As would be expected there was some diversity in size and type.A number of exhibits of both sexes were up to size- I  have big hands so if I find them difficult to span they are probably too big. I found all males to be entire, no serious mouth faults and one kinked tail.Of most concern was the number of dogs with very poor front movement and the number with atypical heads; some too long in muzzle and a few where the muzzle was too short, the latter giving a rather cat like look. Coats and pelts were generally good and  a few dogs would benefit from more exercise to improve their muscletone.A fairly minor fault, but one which detracts from the overall outline, were the dogs which carried their tails curled over their backs i.e “gay tailed” as opposed to carrying their tails gaily.

Some of these faults are aesthetic but others such as size and soundness are not and we should be mindful that our breed is “essentially a working terrier.”

 Judge 

I won my first Crufts qualifier at this show 25 years ago and it has always been one of my favourites. It was an honour to be invited to judge and my thanks go to the Scottish Club for their hospitality. Thanks also to my very capable stewards Bill Shorthose and Judy Carr.My sincere thanks to all those who entered and allowed me the privilege of going over their dogs.

Today I found there to be a much greater depth of quality among the bitches with there being many promising puppies and some very nice animals in the upper classes,particularly limit and open. This depth of quality was not apparent in a number of the dog classes although I was pleased with my main winners.

As would be expected there was some diversity in size and type.A number of exhibits of both sexes were up to size- I  have big hands so if I find them difficult to span they are probably too big. I found all males to be entire, no serious mouth faults and one kinked tail.Of most concern was the number of dogs with very poor front movement and the number with atypical heads; some too long in muzzle and a few where the muzzle was too short, the latter giving a rather cat like look. Coats and pelts were generally good and  a few dogs would benefit from more exercise to improve their muscletone.A fairly minor fault, but one which detracts from the overall outline, were the dogs which carried their tails curled over their backs i.e “gay tailed” as opposed to carrying their tails gaily.

Some of these faults are aesthetic but others such as size and soundness are not and we should be mindful that our breed is “essentially a working terrier.”
