Second 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.

Deeper and wider in chest than 1st but spannable.Nice level topline kept on the move. Well setted and carried tail. Balanced in front and rear angulations. Very thick loos pelt and harsh coat.
