First Place in Open - Dog, Judge: Mrs M Wanless
My sincere thanks go to the officers and committee of Border Union for this appointment, this is such a well run, friendly show, with outstanding hospitality!
My thanks also to my two Stewards on the day, Ella Linton, and Alan Small. Thank you too to all those who entered under me, and came, and accepted my decisions with good grace. I was pleased with my winners. I do wish though that dogs were shown on a loose lead, and stacked freely. Big ears are becoming prevalent, not as in the standard. Presentation and condition played a large part in my decisions.
A 2 year old, blue dog, very smart, with a lovely head. Strong jaw holding large teeth, dark eye. Good reach of neck, into shoulder, spannable. A harsh coat, well ticked, on a thick pelt. Moved ok, but rear movement let him down in the Challenge.
