First Place in Puppy - Bitch, Judge: Mrs. Doreen Rushby (Dormic)
Many thanks to the exhibitors for a super entry. My DCC, BCC, and BP were a credit to the breed. Shoulders are still a big problem, ferrety feet was a recurring problem, thick pads are essential in a Border. A number lacked condition, trying to keep weight down should not be at the expense of nourishment.
Lovely head, good length of neck. Narrow front. Ribs carried well back. Good topline and tailset. Correct double coat. Well muscled, moved with drive.
