Third Place in Graduate, Judge: Tracey Anscombe (Orangebox)
Thank you to the committee of this fantastic, friendly and well organised show for the appointment to judge originally the Border Terriers, but due to the group judge Colin Richardson falling fowl to a dodgy Chinese I was extremely honoured to be able to cover his breed classes with Darwin Martin completing the AV and Group. I wish Colin a speedy recovery. Thank you to the exhibitors for bringing their dogs.
One I have judge before and I still admire just couldn’t match 1 for over all balance or coat. Blue and Tan dog rising 3 years old. Again had a lovely rapport with his young handler, moving well around the ring with true tracking motion. Another one with a cracking short carrot tail well set on and used on the move. Good head and expression, small ears and scissor bite.
