First Place in Limit - Dog, Judge: Mrs Nancy Hogg (Raeburnfoot)
I thoroughly enjoyed my days judging at Border Union showground. Such a pleasant show. Many thanks go to my two very able stewards. They had the ring (& me) running like clockwork. Thanks also to the exhibitors who entered under me. Had some lovely dogs to go over & some hard decisions to make. Coats were probably the best I have seen for some time. Thick pelts, too, were much in evidence. Mouths were good. Fronts continue to be a problem & movement letting some otherwise promising dogs down.
what I look for in a dog. Very typy. Good size. Strong head & short, strong muzzle. Narrow with a beautiful, straight front. Excels in shoulder & in rear angulation. Harsh coat, thick pelt. Short, well set on carrot tail completes the picture. Moved effortlessly round the ring. RCC
