Second Place in Limit - Dog, Judge: Mrs M Reeves (Baywillow)
A very enjoyable appointment in spite of the wind and rain. I found some lovely borders for the top awards. The line up for the bitch challenge was especially pleasing, each one of top quality with some very promising youngsters. On the minus side there were too many that were wide in front. This is a serious fault in a breed who need to get through narrow spaces underground. Whilst I am always critical of dogs that lack rear angulation there are one or two appearing in the breed who are over angulated which is not correct for a border.
A hotly contested class.
g/t. Also of top quality. He is narrow throughout with a lovely straight and narrow front. Well angulated fore and aft with good length of rib, harsh coat with thick pelt and excellent head qualities. He moved out with purpose to win the Res CC.
