Reserve CC Sothern BT 2012

Rich red dog up to size but easily spanned, ultra typical head which is a feature of this kennel. Liked everything about him, my idea of a Border.

Reserve CC -
From a kennel renowned for sturdy well muscled workmanlike stock,. I admired his thick coat and his many typical features and he didn’t disappoint. Difficult to fault and pushed hard for the top-spot. Reserve CC.
Wattie returned to the show ring in summer 2016, winning:
1st Open Dog & Reserve CC; SKC (may)
Judge: Simon Jackson.
Everybody knows this kennel is known for their “old fashioned” Border Terrier which I enjoy immensely. Fabulous head, wonderful intelligent expression, beautifully made, thick hard double full coat with thick loose pelt, as it should be. Nice to see a Border Terrier shown properly. Very happy to award him Reserve Dog CC – very close to the CC.
2nd Open Dog Southern BT Champ.
Judge: Prof Steve Dean.
Close up. Quality, heavier set dog. Very well muscled and fit, plenty of bone, good head with neat ears, well made throughout. Typical coat and pelt. Has a good top-line but being shown is not his favoured adventure. Moved OK.
1st Open Dog Blackpool
Judge: Trudi Baird.
Red in lovely full coat, very good head, he has an excellent length of body with ribs right back giving a lovely balanced outline, excellent angles front and rear, moved well to take this class, in the challenge he lost some of his sparkle.
