First Place in Post Graduate - 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.
Another pleasing bitch of good size and type. Very nice feminine head and typical expression.Nice reach of neck flowing into well laid shoulders. Nice straight front. Ribs well back, easily spannable. level firm topline kept on the move, tail well set and carried. Very balanced angulations front and rear.Excellent harsh coat and pelt. A free and sound mover
