National Dog Show (06-05-2023)

Second Place in Minor Puppy - Bitch, Judge: Brigitte Belin Bernaudin (France)

Show Critique:

First, I thank the committee for the invitation to judge this prestigious show. Thanks to my stewards for making a super job and keep my judging running smoothly. It was a real honour and privilege as foreign judge and breeder to have the opportunity of this 1st appointment to give CC in my breed, and thank to exhibitors to allow me to go over so many good Border.
Being able in my country to work my dogs, I have been looking for the right conformation as asks in the standard, making dogs able to do their original work underground and was happy many could do so.

Placing Critique:

Grizzle bitch, strong but feminine head, good flat skull, strong muzzle and bite; correct neck and well placed shoulders. Good length of ribcage and loins. Spannable. Good bone, straight front. Good hindquarters. Excellent coat and pelt. Moves well but preferred drive of 1st.
