First Place in Open - Bitch, Judge: Mrs M Wanless
My sincere thanks go to the officers and committee of Border Union for this appointment, this is such a well run, friendly show, with outstanding hospitality!
My thanks also to my two Stewards on the day, Ella Linton, and Alan Small. Thank you too to all those who entered under me, and came, and accepted my decisions with good grace. I was pleased with my winners. I do wish though that dogs were shown on a loose lead, and stacked freely. Big ears are becoming prevalent, not as in the standard. Presentation and condition played a large part in my decisions.
This was a hard class, many went cardless that would be in on another occasion.
First judged her as a raw puppy, loved her then, still do! Have watched her career with interest and pleasure. A grizzle with a super head, nice neck into good shoulders. Excellent body lines. Harsh coat, thick pelt, neat tail. Moved out well. Pleased to award her the RCC.
