First Place in Open - Dog, Judge: Mrs D Townsend
Thank you to everyone for a very enjoyable day, it’s always a privilege for me to go over other people’s dogs. I was pleased with my class winners but overall I felt that the quality of exhibits was somewhat mixed; movement was good but I have to lament the untypical Border heads that are present together with the high number of single coats
I awarded this dog his first RCC the last time I judged and I was so pleased to be able to award him CC and BOB today. Really sound to go over, absolutely balanced with nothing overdone; flat rib, good reach of neck and easily spanned. Typical otter head, dark eye and keen expression. Excellent on the move with lovely level topline maintained beautifully. As fit as a fiddle and looks like he could do a day’s work and then look for more.
