First Place in Limit - Bitch, 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.
Strong class with depth of quality. Really fell in love with this blue and tan, otter head with keen expression, ears ok, correct length neck, good body with ribs carried back into strong loin and well muscled quarters and short hocks, easily covered the ground, presented in good coat and condition just outshone today by CC winner, RCC.
