Second Place in Post Graduate, 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 !.
Grizzle bitch. Owns a typically feminine head of correct proportions with a keen expression, good eye of correct shape and colour, low set on ears. Adequate muzzle and good dentition. Good front and shoulder construction leading to well placed ribs. Level topline. Well constructed throughout. Presented in a good harsh coat on a thick pliable pelt. Good carrot shaped tail. Just could not match the enthusiasm and drive of the winner today.
