Windsor Championship Show (02-07-2015)

Second Place in Limit - Bitch, Judge: Mr M. Hollingsbee (Otterwood)

Show Critique:

I thoroughly enjoyed my first judging experience at this level and thank the exhibitors for bringing their dogs of such good quality in front of me and accepting my decisions with good grace. In some of the classes there was only a hairs breadth between some exhibits and on another day the results would have been different. I like Borders that are narrow, strong and good movers. I do not consider coat to be a major factor except when differentiating between dogs of equal quality, As a Championship Show judge told me many years ago “bad coats can get better, many other faults cannot.”
I would also like to thank my stewards for keeping me in order.

Placing Critique:

grizzle in loser coat than 1, well balanced body, good mover front and read, good ear set, good reach of neck and level topline.
