Second Place in Junior - Dog, Judge: Mr M. Hollingsbee (Otterwood)
I would like to thank my stewards Lesley and Peter Armstrong-Rodgers for the excellent way they controlled the ring in a peaceful and confident way ensuring a good natured atmosphere to reign.
The exhibitors also deserve thanks for entering and accepting my decisions in a sporting way and spectators applauding each class in turn.
The quality of the majority of the exhibits was good but some of them had suspect front movement which seems to be common in certain Borders.
slightly younger dog of very good quality and unfortunate to meet the winner today. Balanced movement front and rear with well muscled rear legs. Good top line and an excellent coat and pelt.
