First Place in Post Graduate, Judge: Mrs Tina Jones (Otterholme)
Many thanks to the committee to judge at this well run show. A big thank you to the exhibitors for their entry of some really nice dogs and the sporting acceptance of my choices by the majority of exhibitors. I was somewhat dismayed to find a sizable amount of the entry with evidence of clipper use, perhaps this has been done to enhance the outline of the dog, but for me it completely detracted from the overall picture, nothing is more pleasing than seeing a Border in a ‘natural’ proper jacket. Temperaments and dentition were all excellent. Pleasing to find the majority of exhibits spannable.
one who I have judged before and didn’t disappoint today in this strong class. I find this bitch so balanced and unexaggerated throughout, blue and tan with a decent proper harsh jacket with plenty of undercoat and ample amounts of pelt. I love the head on her, so in proportion and feminine, ribs so well laid back, very easy to span, good fit condition.
