First 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 with some lovely young bitches, they will provide strong competition amongst themselves in the coming year.
Very good bitch, very well put together, good in head with a strong jaw, good angulations and well balanced with excellent rib, good tail & tailset, shown in excellent coat, moving OK to make her mark in a strong challenge.
