First Place in Junior - Dog, Judge: Mrs. Kathy Newsome (Kighill)
My first judging appointment at a Championship show and what a lovely day I had. Firstly I would like to thank the Manchester Dog Society for inviting me to judge their show, and also to all the exhibitors for showing their support.
I had a lovely selection of dogs and I was very pleased with the quality that came before me. All dogs were entire and mouths were good. Some dogs could have done with being tidied up a little more.
Liked this Border, not overdone in anyway. Otterhead with well-placed ears, good strong mouth with good sized teeth. Level top-line which he carried well whilst on the move around the ring and when still. Tight feet and thick pelt. Well-deserved RDCC.
