Boston Terrier Club

The Boston Terrier club

Open show 28/3/2026

I thank the club for the invitation to judge this fabulous breed at their open show, & for the lovely hospitality shown. Some dogs are still very close behind when moving away, & this seems to be hard to remedy. Thank you to my stewards, Polly, Simon & Tina, for keeping the smooth flow of the ring. Bostons were my second breed, & a breed I would like to own & show again in the near future.

Minor Puppy Dog (1,0)

1st Grange’s Bosties Urban Outlaw

A raw 6 month old boy with much to like. He has a nice head which already shows type. Muzzle short & square. His ear set was good, & he had a good eye shape. Square in head & in body. Good length of neck. His topline is typical of many puppies at this age, still waiting to settle. He has a low-set tail, & he moved well when he got going. Best Puppy Dog & Best Puppy In Show.
