First Place in Puppy - Dog, Judge: Brigitte Belin Bernaudin (France)
First, I thank the committee for the invitation to judge this prestigious show. Thanks to my stewards for making a super job and keep my judging running smoothly. It was a real honour and privilege as foreign judge and breeder to have the opportunity of this 1st appointment to give CC in my breed, and thank to exhibitors to allow me to go over so many good Border.
Being able in my country to work my dogs, I have been looking for the right conformation as asks in the standard, making dogs able to do their original work underground and was happy many could do so.
Catched my eyes when entering the ring. Very nice typical head with flat skull,strong muzzle, strong bite. Excellent reach of neck, well placed shoulder. Straight front and good feet.. Nice length of body with ribs well back, narrow all through..Excellent topline which is perfectly kept on the move. Excellent tail set and well carried on the move. Racy ans well muscled hindquarters. Super pelt and coat. On the move excellent reach in front and the best drive of the class.
