Border Terriers
Highest terrier entry, and what a turnout of quality exhibits, despite the very windy conditions, however I found three suspect mouths, and one kinked tail.

Puppy 9 (1a)

1 Newsome’s Kighill Ellie Ellie seven month grizzle bitch, with excellent thick jacket, good breadth of skull, strong jaw, big teeth, straight front, moved well for one so young. BP

2. Gregory’s Westmore Capalgo Time at Visrie, darker grizzle dog, with good length of body, thick pelt/jacket, typical head with dark neat ears.

3. Marr’s Redfox Robbie
