First Place in Puppy - Bitch, 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.
g/t. Well constructed throughout, straight front, well placed shoulders and excellent topline. Very pleasing head qualities. Presented in harsh coat with thick pelt. Moved out with purpose to win BP & PG3.
