First Place in Post Graduate - 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.
blue/tan. In full coat but I found plenty to like beneath it. Well placed shoulders, good length of rib and excellent rear angulation, straight front, strong masculine head. A happy, friendly dog who moved out really well.
