I thoroughly enjoyed judging The Border Terrier Club Championship Show on 26th March 2011 at Carlisle Racecourse. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of the exhibitors for bringing their dogs along and also thank the Club for such a lovely present. Overall I have to say that the quality of the entire entry was quite good, but the movement of some exhibits was concerning. Another problem for me was exhibits not being in condition, some lacking muscle and substance and in a few instances they were a little overweight.

Special Working Dog or Bitch Holding a Working Certificate -no entries

Veteran Dog 7 -5
1st: CH Ashbrae Poacher (Mr A & Mrs E Cuthbertson)
A dog I have judged before. Still maintaining his youthfulness. Strong masculine otter head, lovely rich red colour. He is balanced and a nice type. Moved well.
2nd: CH Fehmarn Magic Lantern JW (Mrs J Morton Shaw)
Slightly larger made all round, in good coat and condition for his age, little to choose between these two but movement was the decider
 

Minor Puppy Dog 5-0
1st: Tythrop Tap on Wood for Ravenside (Mr M Lowry)
Although a bit of a handful on the table, he did manage to pull it together to win this class. Good front and rear assembly. His coat was harsh and his pelt thick. He was easily spanned and moved well. He is only a youngster, but hopefully, will have more to come. Time will tell.
2nd: Ravenside Workforce (Mr M Lowry)
Has similar lines to the winner of this class, he has an excellent coat and was in good condition. Just preferred the movement and outline of the winner.
3rd: Hoathwood Habanero (Mrs S Hales)
 

Puppy Dog 8 - 1
1st: Ravenside Hurricane Run at Ridgebow (Mr N & Mrs A Duxbury)
A very pleasing, stylish youngster. He has a lovely masculine head and a good reach of neck, balanced shape and outline with a good depth of chest and flat ribs. His coat was dense and harsh. Movement was sound and he showed well. BPD & BPIS.
2nd: Foxthorn McVicar (Mr R F & Mrs S Taylor)
Another nice youngster, bodied up well and just coming into coat. He has good bone, neat feet, pleasing head and expression. He has a nice outline and movement appeared steady.
3rd: Cedarhill Beyond the Stars (Mrs C Dean)
 

Junior Dog 10 -1
1st: Northborders Mr Pickles (Miss J North)
Blue and Tan of nice type and quality. I liked his masculine head and expression. His ears were set nicely; his bite was good and has a strong muzzle. He has a good reach of neck, straight front and was spannable. His hindquarters were well muscled and he moved with drive and purpose.
2nd: Chorbeck Charlie Chaplin (Mrs H Haughton)
Liked this youngster. He has a good otter shaped head with a strong muzzle. He is a pleasing size and well proportioned. Nicely constructed. Coat was passing its best. Movement was sound and his handler got the best out of him.
3rd: Foxfactor Pied Piper JW ShCM (Mr B & Mrs K Stockley)
 

Yearling Dog 4 - 1
1st: Northborders Mr Pickles
2nd: Cobstoneway River Magic JW (Miss C Spencer)
This dog has a typical head, pleasing expression, neat ears and a correct bite. He has a good length of neck and body, correct bone and neat feet. He was presented in excellent condition and has a harsh jacket. His front movement was ok however his rear movement could be more positive. He was also not getting on with his neighbour in this class
3rd: Rexlands Cock Robin (Mr & Mrs D Matthews)
 

Special Beginners Dog 7 -1
1st: Northborders Mr Pickles
2nd: Chorbeck Charlie Chaplin
3rd: Ragatam Lets Go over Borderbridge (Miss B J Singh)
 

Post Graduate Dog 11 - 4
1st: Onthill Fernando (Mr R & Mrs Ramus)
A very workman like dog, with a pin wire coat. He has settled down in movement and today moved sound and with purpose. He pushed the CC winner hard. I liked his size, he has a masculine head without being coarse, correct bite with a strong muzzle, dark eyes and a keen expression. He has a lot to like about him and in time should trouble the best. Res Dog CC
2nd: Achouffe Murphy Gray at Adrival (Mrs J Bone)
Pleasing head and ear set, good expression, correct scissor bite and a strong muzzle. He has a harsh double coat with ribs of good length and depth, built on racy lines. Movement could have been more positive.
3rd: Iacheslei Cantus JW (Miss A Harrison)
 

Mid Limit Dog 6- 2
1st: Earthwise Wolfbane JW ShCM (Mr E J Houston)
Masculine head, good mouth and correct bite. Spannable with good ribs, a level topline and correct tail set. He has well angulated hindquarters with good bone and tight feet. Coat was harsh in texture, pelt was thick. He was handled to advantage and moved soundly.
2nd: Solitary Mist (Mr D & Mrs C Hodgson)
Blue and Tan with a harsh coat, he was slightly larger made than the winner, however I was still able to span him. He has correct bone, straight front and racy outlines. Just preferred the strength of head of the winner,
3rd: Achouffe Murphy Gray at Adrival (Mrs J Bone)
 

Limit Dog 11 - 4
1st: Ravenside Ballymoss (Mr M Lowry)
This dog, I think, is approaching his full potential; he looked the part and was in fine form and is pleasing in so many respects. He has matured in head and body, his movement is steady and covers the ground with drive and purpose. He has correct angulation fore and aft, with a well constructed, toned body covered in a good double coat and a thick pelt. I liked his size and type, he is not overdone in any way. DOG CC & RBIS
2nd: Onthill Super Trouper (Mr R & Mrs A Ramus)
Litter brother to Res CC winner, similar to his brother only slightly larger made. Unfortunately he did not seem to enjoy his day out which was a pity as I have seen him on better form than he was today.
3rd: Foxcraig Jester (Mr G Sugars)
 

Open Dog 8- 2
1st: Rossboy Jack (Mr T & Mrs G Robinson)
A dog of nice size and type, with a good otter head, large teeth and correct bite. He is built on racy lines, with visible muscle tone, pleasing length of neck and straight front. His topline was level and he has a correct tail set. He was presented in good coat and condition. Movement was sound but unfortunately he did not cooperate with his handler in the challenge.
2nd: Fehmarn Reap the Harvest (Mrs J Morton-Shaw)
Up to size, he has a good head, straight front, pleasing bone and substance. His loin and rear quarters were strong and toned. He was in good coat and condition. Moved ok.
3rd: CH Cedarhill Authorized JW (Mrs C Dean)
 

Veteran Bitch 5 -2
1st: Quatford Kiss N Tell at Fehmarn JW (Mrs J Morton Shaw)
13 ½ YEARS OLD! – what a showgirl, enjoyed her day out, movement was true, she was in fit condition with a pin wire coat, I was pleased to award her a well deserved Best Veteran.
2nd: CH Manx Margaid ShCM (Mr B J & Mrs K D Stockley)
Another senior who was still looking good and seemed to enjoy her day out, showed well.
3rd: Rubicon Raincloud ShCM (Mrs G Hyslop)
 

Minor Puppy Bitch 6- 1
1st: Oughterside Magic Sky (Master R Scott)
Nice feminine head, with a short strong muzzle. She was in a good double coat and easily spannable. Her size was pleasing but her showmanship needs to develop along with her front movement.
2nd: Alcumlow Miss Sixty at Riseburn (Miss C Tutin)
Blue and Tan, Up to size for a minor puppy, for me, she was just lacking in head and strength of muzzle, but this may improve with maturity. Front movement needs to settle.
3rd: Gameway Magic Dragon (Mrs J Webb)
 

Puppy Bitch 16 -12
1st: Bramblebrae Violet (Mr G Wildey)
Blue and tan, a nice type, I liked her size, outline and balance. She has a feminine head with a strong muzzle. Her front was straight, racy lines and balanced. She was sound in movement. Just needs to body up and develop substance. Best Puppy Bitch
2nd: Kgills Five Jive (Mrs J Broomhead)
Another Blue and Tan which was larger made overall, with enough bone and substance for her age. Her movement and outline could not match that of the winner.
3rd: Dandyhow Myrtle (Mrs M Brown)
 

Junior Bitch 12 - 7
1st: Fehmarn Fine Romance (Mrs J Morton Shaw)
I liked her otter shaped head, keen expression. She has a short strong muzzle and nicely placed ears and was presented in a harsh double coat. Her feet were tight, front was straight and she is a nice size and type. Hindquarters were nicely angulated which enabled her to move with drive and purpose.
2nd: Badgerholme Ascot Opal (Mr B & Mrs B Dickinson & Miss T James)
Up to size and in full coat which made her look heavier than she was. I liked her head and expression. She has a good scissor bite and large teeth. She has racy lines but looked a tad long in body. Showed well.
3rd: Picer Beersheba (Mr A & Mrs H A Fletcher)
 

Yearling Bitch 8 -4
1st: Howthwaite in Violet (Mr R and Mrs E Barrett)
What a joy to go over, she has a striking outline and was immaculately presented, in first class condition, she is beautifully balanced, stylish and feminine. Her blue and tan coat was of the correct texture with ticking. She has lovely dark eyes and a keen expression. Her ears are neat and correctly placed with a strong muzzle and large teeth. She has a good length of neck, correct bone and front angulation leading to neat, tidy feet. I was able to span her with ease; her ribs were that nice ‘V’ shape in the hands, which enhanced her racy outline. She also has well angulated hindquarters; her second thigh was evident as was a correct turn of stifle. When asked to move she covered the ground effortlessly and soundly. She was in unison with her handler. Bitch CC and BIS.
2nd: Tojamatt Isolde (Mr D & Mrs A Matthews)
Nice type with a feminine otter head, she is good for size, with well angulated hindquarters. Moved soundly around the ring.
3rd: Smalesmouth Maylady (Mrs J Roberts)

Res: Dandyhow Myrtle (Mrs M Brown)
 

Post Graduate Bitch 17 - 5
1st: Saracen Susie at Kilburnpride (Mrs & Miss E Scott)
Blue and Tan, she has a good otter head, v shaped ears and a lovely expression. Built on racy lines, correct ribs and was spannable. She is a nice size with pleasing bone. Good angulation and she moved soundly both ways.
2nd: Achnagairn Wild Card (Mrs A Fraser)
Another nice bitch, with type. She has a good double coat, nice body proportions and correct tailset. Her movement was sound although a little lethargic at times.
3rd: Ragatam Lucinda for Chorbeck (Mrs H Haughton)
 

Mid Limit Bitch 9 -4
1st: Bandicoot Serenade (Mr G & Mrs V Docwra)
Attractive feminine, otter head, short strong muzzle, nice expression and ear set. She has a smart appearance, well balanced body, a level topline and a good tail set. Her coat was of good texture. She has correct bone and tight feet. A good show girl enjoying her day out. Res Bitch CC
2nd: Grindelvald Miss Teak at Eltonfurze (Mrs A Fray)
Lovely shaped feminine head, a nice type with good bone and substance. Coat was harsh and her pelt was thick. She has a lot to like about her but today, just lost out on rear movement to the winner.
3rd: Carrickfarm Maddy (Mrs V Armstrong)
 

Limit Bitch 19 - 7
1st: Ravenside Ma Biche at Ridgebow (Mr N Duxbury)
A nice bitch with a pleasing head and expression, She was presented in good coat and condition. She has a nice length of neck, good shoulders and a straight front. I liked this bitch but she would benefit from a bit more enthusiasm in the ring.
2nd: Fehmarn Lochside Love (Mrs J Morton Shaw)
This bitch has a lovely otter head, dark eyes and a keen expression. She has a nice length of neck, level topline with a good tail set. She has good angulation, a straight front and correct ribs. She was well muscled and has body lines. Her movement was positive and sound, just short of coat today.
3rd: Irton Polka (Mr D & Mrs A Fryer)
 

Open Bitch 4 - 0
1st: CH Remony Barley Twist JW (Mrs A Gregory)
A worthy champion with many good qualities but she lacked her usual sparkle and seemed as though she just did not want to be in the ring today.
2nd: Ir CH Comberdown Diamond Edge to Taylortay (Mrs A Taylor)
Blue and tan, with a good coat. She has a good straight front, and decent bone with tight feet. Her shoulders and hindquarters have correct angulation, therefore her movement was sound, both front and rear. She showed well and was presented in good order. She was in fit hard condition. Just preferred the head of the winner.
3rd: Wagtail Lass Via Ycart (Mr K Fraser & Mrs T Butler)

Junior Handling Judged by Chris Davis (Hesslemere)

Junior Handling classes

Class A (6 to 11) (2 - 2 absent)
 
Class B (12-16) (3 - 1 absent)
 
1st James Squires.   Best Junior Handler
 
Excellent performance from this young man.  Always attentive to his dog and to the judge.  Followed instructions given
very well, and  handled his dog with care, encouraging it along the way. Placed the dog on the table so as to 'present' it to me, not
in the middle of the table as some exhibitors do. Used the ring to the best of his advantage, moving his dog at the correct pace.
Always watching me, as to where I was standing and making sure that I could see his dog at it's best.
He has a very good career in handling dogs in front of him, if that is what he decides to do.
 
2nd.  Callum Robert Scott
 
Another very able young man, who, I discovered after judging, was having his first attempt at this sport.
Very capable of handling a dog, and again showed his dog off very well, kept his eye on me most of the time.
He made it a very difficult decision on the day as they were both very good.
In the future these placings could be reversed.  On the day my winner just had the edge, by a whisker.
