Second 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 one of good type and size, blue and tan with excellent coat and pelt. Good reach of neck flowing into well laid back shoulders. Nice feminine head with neat ears. Good ribcage, easily spannable. Nice straight front with right amount of bone and tight feet. Good topline and underline. Nice carotty tail, well carried on the move. Moved well but not as free as 1st.
