First Place in Yearling - Dog, Judge: Mrs Trak Fryer (Irton)
I would like to thank the exhibitors for a lovely quality entry, the Club and committee for the appointment and my stewards Simon and Bev Jackson for their efficient help throughout the day. I was generally pleased with the overall quality, heads were good, pelts generally good and movement OK with many very typical exhibits on show. I was disappointed to find a number of poor mouths in the dog entry and to find a few exhibits presented down to the minute but totally lacking muscle, something that I find unacceptable in a dog with the Borders outlook on life.
An excellent class headed by three absolutely lovely dogs.
This one was a very pleasant surprise, beautiful balance and great style. He has a lovely head with an excellent expression, well set ears, good for bone, neat feet, lovely front and shoulder, very well proportioned with good rib carried well back and a lovely set on tail. In beautiful coat and a good pelt moving out true with economy, everything about him just right today so pleased to award him Dog CC and BIS.
