First Place in Junior - Dog, Judge: Mr John Bainbridge (Risdene)
Thank you to the exhibitors who took the trouble to present their dogs at a difficult time of year in good condition with reasonable coats appropriately trimmed, as they know my wants. The top five winners were outstanding for being’ normal’ representatives of the breed with none of the current trend for exaggeration, in front and rear assemblies,all had correct length of body ,narrow front, deep ribs carried well back that provides the necessary heart and lung room for a border to be active all day and go to ground when needed.
Blue and tan that can tend to over show himself but when relaxed shows his correct confirmation that he uses well on the move, in full coat that made him look heavy in wither but he was fine here and no doubt this coat will come off for other judges.
