First Place in Junior - Bitch, 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.
Grizzle bitch of good type. All in moderation. Nice feminine head with good flat skull, good reach of neck and good lay back of shoulders. Straight front and good ribs, spannable. Good length of body and loins. Good tail set. Excellent harsh coat and loose pelt. Balanced angulations front and rear. Moves well with good reach and drive
