First Place in Limit - Dog, Judge: Mrs P McLellan (Breconbeds)
My thanks to the Scottish Committee for the invitation to judge our prestigious annual Championship Show; to my excellent steward Joyce Orr, and to the exhibitors for such a good entry.
I was happy with my class winners which were super examples of the breed. On the down side a number of exhibits were short in the leg and in the body, giving an unbalanced appearance and it’s very unlikely that they would be capable of following a horse, as the breed standard requires. Some pelts were too thin and too many dogs were single coated.
Lovely type of Border. Super head and expression. Good dark eye; good ears and bite. Good length of neck into well laid shoulders, level topline and tailset. Ample bone. Liked his size. Short of coat so nothing to hide. RDCC.
