Second Place in Post Graduate - 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.
A disappointing class in comparison to the last one.
Nice type of dog with an excellent head, rather more heavily built than 1, OK for bone with nice tight feet and a good tail, decent on the move but rather short of coat today which cost him.
