First Place in Junior, Judge: Mrs Sue Baxter (Mysulan/Sulan)
Thank you to the committee for the kind invitation to judge today , also to my stewards who kept things moving along nicely, your help was much appreciated. A big thank you to all the exhibitors for allowing me to go over your dogs and accepting my decisions
in a sporting manner. General observations were, no kinked tails found and the males were intact . I did see a few animals with slightly untidy bites affecting some placings. On the subject of ring presentation I may suggest that perhaps some animals would have benefitted from more attention being paid to nail clipping and feet trimming … even with the long grass, once on the table the feet are very visible. I thoroughly enjoyed my day and had a quality bunch of Borders before me. Thank you to everyone who made it possible !
Nice sized 16 month old grizzle,came to hand easily . Lovely head. masculine but not overdone in any way , great dentition , ear size correct ,as was placement .Jacket of a nice texture and great for depth . Narrow throughout and easily spanned .. Well ribbed back and strong in loin . Angles, good fore and aft, moved with plenty of reach and drive . Well deserved his RBOB today !
