First Place in Junior - Bitch, Judge: Mr M. Hollingsbee (Otterwood)
I would like to thank my stewards Lesley and Peter Armstrong-Rodgers for the excellent way they controlled the ring in a peaceful and confident way ensuring a good natured atmosphere to reign.
The exhibitors also deserve thanks for entering and accepting my decisions in a sporting way and spectators applauding each class in turn.
The quality of the majority of the exhibits was good but some of them had suspect front movement which seems to be common in certain Borders.
What a quality class of Junior bitches. Any one of ten could have won this. Unfortunately there were not enough cards for all deserving dogs to get one.
13 month old grizzle. Won this class on her superior movement. Very good front and rear end angulation which she used with drive to move round the ring. Excellent coat in peak of condition
