First Place in Junior - Dog, Judge: Miss Sally Leslie (Risdene)
Thank you for a super entry. At times I felt I had been let loose in a sweetie shop such was the quality of the exhibits before me. Indeed because I was spoilt I was hard on jaw and dentition faults and Borders that were more smart terrier than true Border in type. My experience over the years leads me to believe that such faults are heart-breakingly likely to continue to bite in the future if not stamped on. My main winners were true Borders. You read of “a-ha moments†and happily for me there were some rather nice ones here. Good times indeed.
Another good class. Just out of puppy this quality individual took my eye early on, in repeat classes by PGD he was showing his age against the big boys but he excels in many ways, lovely correct bone, super legs and tight well padded feet, really good in shoulder and upper arm, straight and narrow but with necessary strength where required , lovely skull with correct stop, no exaggeration here, good expression, has the right coat and pelt, really well made fore and aft and ribbed back to give correct top and underline
