Second Place in Junior - Bitch, Judge: Mr. Tim Ball (Kaitak)
A thoroughly enjoyable day and my thanks go to the officers and committee for their kind invitation to judge their well-run Open Show. I was delighted with the excellent entry and what a pleasure it was to spend a day with the Borders and their owners. There were some well-filled classes which gave me lots to think about and some decisions were extremely close. A lovely atmosphere prevailed and applause for the winners was consistent throughout.
This 13 mth old is another who pleased for type, feminine throughout and smaller all round than the winner. She too is nicely balanced with moderate length of neck, correct topline, excellent ribbing, muscular loin and tail set and carried well. Head of good proportions with nice breadth to skull, lovely eye and ear, short strong muzzle and correct dentition. She stands well naturally on good feet with correct width to chest. Moving out nicely on the go around but front action could not match that of winner. Harsh jacket and good thickness to pelt.
