Second Place in Yearling - Dog, Judge: Mrs Trak Fryer (Irton)
I would like to thank the exhibitors for a lovely quality entry, the Club and committee for the appointment and my stewards Simon and Bev Jackson for their efficient help throughout the day. I was generally pleased with the overall quality, heads were good, pelts generally good and movement OK with many very typical exhibits on show. I was disappointed to find a number of poor mouths in the dog entry and to find a few exhibits presented down to the minute but totally lacking muscle, something that I find unacceptable in a dog with the Borders outlook on life.
An excellent class headed by three absolutely lovely dogs.
A slightly heavier made dog with a lovely head, nice free moving but not quite the drive of 1, good for bone, well angulated and balanced with an excellent coat and pelt. He has great promise but in the challenge for the reserve CC he couldn?t match the elegant lines of the open dog.
