First Place in Veteran - 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 lovely class to judge.
Only 7 & a half years old and still in excellent condition, good head, good for bone and nice tight feet, nice angulations behind with a good tail & tailset, moving out well, a bit short of coat today but still presents a very complete picture of a Border, Best Veteran.
