First Place in Open - 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 interesting class of very different types
Beautiful red dog, lovely head and neck, nice angulations fore and aft and beautifully balanced through, moved out well and showed well, He is such a very nice type of a Border. He is in good coat but a little short with a decent pelt. Worked hard in a strong challenge to take Reserve CC & RBIS
