Second Place in Junior, Judge: Mr Peter Armstrong (Atron)
My sincere thanks go to the exhibitors for firstly entering their dogs under me and then for showing them in such adverse weather conditions. Not only had they the extreme heat to contend with but also the small steeply inclined ring still full of sheep droppings as well. Proper Border country !.
13 month old Grizzle bitch. Owns a typical head of good proportions with good eye shape and colour, short muzzle. Decent reach of neck set into laid back shoulders, deep rib and level topline. Easily spanned. Adequate angulation both front and rear. Not in her best coat today, her jacket feeling soft to the touch. Movement not as positive and as accurate as the winner of the class.
