First Place in Mid Limit - 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.
A big dog, reasonable head & nice strong jaw, rather full eye, OK in shoulder and plenty of bone. Good feet, good coat and pelt, he was very well prepared. Sound on the move but not the steadiest seeming to dislike the carpet or lights.
