First Place in Post Graduate - Dog, Judge: Mrs Nancy Hogg
My thanks go to the exhibitors who showed their dogs under me. I was very pleased with my entry, both numerically and depth of quality of the exhibits. The ring was large, even and the grass cut very short. I had two very able stewards and the predicted rain stayed away. What more could I ask for ?.
On the whole the presentation was good although some dogs lacked condition. Temperaments were good. Coats were variable. I found one kinked tail, one wrong mouth but more than a few small teeth.
A mixed class.
Racy blue and tan upstanding dog. Typical Border head. Good reach of neck, Excellent bodylines. Pleasing topline held on the move. Harsh jacket. Moved well and covered the ground with ease.
