First Place in Open - Dog, Judge: Mrs Nancy Hogg (Raeburnfoot)
I thoroughly enjoyed my days judging at Border Union showground. Such a pleasant show. Many thanks go to my two very able stewards. They had the ring (& me) running like clockwork. Thanks also to the exhibitors who entered under me. Had some lovely dogs to go over & some hard decisions to make. Coats were probably the best I have seen for some time. Thick pelts, too, were much in evidence. Mouths were good. Fronts continue to be a problem & movement letting some otherwise promising dogs down.
so typy. Just right for size & shape. Wonderfully balanced. A pleasure to go over. Best of heads, strong muzzle, lovely expression. Scores in shoulder & rear angulation. Spans well. Catlike feet. Enough coat with thick pelt. Good topline & tailset completed a lovely picture. CC & BOB. Went on to G1 & RBIS
