First Place in Yearling - Dog, Judge: Mrs M Reeves (Baywillow)
I was the replacement judge for Carolyn Muirhead who sadly died in November. Firstly I want congratulate all the exhibitors who made it to the show in spite of the atrocious weather conditions. I was very afraid there would be few dogs there for me to judge. What a tough lot border folk are. I had plenty of quality dogs to fill the top placings but as a general comment I felt a number lacked sufficient rear angulation.
Lovely dog, narrow all through and easily spanned. Quality head, nice reach of neck into the best of shoulders, level topline and well set tail, straight front, neat tight feet, well ribbed back. Moved with drive. RCC.
