Third Place in Yearling - Dog, Judge: Mrs Trak Fryer (Irton)
I would like to thank the exhibitors for a lovely quality entry, the Club and committee for the appointment and my stewards Simon and Bev Jackson for their efficient help throughout the day. I was generally pleased with the overall quality, heads were good, pelts generally good and movement OK with many very typical exhibits on show. I was disappointed to find a number of poor mouths in the dog entry and to find a few exhibits presented down to the minute but totally lacking muscle, something that I find unacceptable in a dog with the Borders outlook on life.
An excellent class headed by three absolutely lovely dogs.
A good dog who was very unlucky to meet the first two in such good form. Rather strong in head with a good eye and a good jaw, Beautifully built he is absolutely and utterly sound on the move and wearing an excellent blue coat.
