Second Place in Junior - Bitch, Judge: Mrs M Reeves (Baywillow)
I was the replacement judge for Carolyn Muirhead who sadly died in November. Firstly I want congratulate all the exhibitors who made it to the show in spite of the atrocious weather conditions. I was very afraid there would be few dogs there for me to judge. What a tough lot border folk are. I had plenty of quality dogs to fill the top placings but as a general comment I felt a number lacked sufficient rear angulation.
b/t. Could do with more ticking to her harsh coat but otherwise was very pleasing for construction and balance. Liked her level topline, length of rib, shoulder placement and rear angulation. Feminine, ottery head, moved out straight and true.
