First Place in Post Graduate - 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.
Blue and Tan , very typey. Narrow all through. Good head and bite. Good reach of neck in well placed shoulders. Straight and narrow front. Ribs well back and easily spannable. Very nice length of body. Excellent topline and underline. Well setted tail, well carried on the move. Lovely profile. Like his free movement a lot with reach and drive, covering his ground. Just build to do his job.
