Blackpool Championship Show (22-06-2012)

Second Place in Open - Dog, Judge: Mr Dan Ericsson (Sweden)

Show Critique:

Movement was difficult to assess under these circumstances, but most dogs seemed to cope remarkably well despite knee high mud & a water logged ring – living proof of the hardiness of the breed!
Despite the appalling weather I enjoyed my day with the Borders very much & was impressed with the overall quality of the dogs & the keen sportsmanship of the exhibitors.

Placing Critique:

top class dog, very masculine & in great coat & condition, very good outline, front & rear, moved well. A little more sprung in rib than I prefer & not the head of 1, but overall a very good dog who handled well & was expertly handled
