Second Place in Limit - 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 very good class where quality went all the way down, all of those that I placed, and a few more who were out of coat, could contend for top honours.
Smaller dog with an attractive head and expression but a tendency to fly his ears. Good angulations and neatly made but overall not as well balanced as 1. He is in a good harsh coat with a good pelt and OK for feet and moved out soundly. He was not showing as well as 1 which cost him here.
