First Place in Limit - Bitch, Judge: Mr M. Hollingsbee (Otterwood)
I would like to express my thanks to the Officers and Committee of the Club for inviting me to judge their show, my second opportunity at a Breed Open Show.
I was struck by the wonderful atmosphere in the hall with every result being greeted with spontaneous, enthusiastic applause. The exhibitors in Scotland certainly are a very sporting lot!
I found no bad mouths but front movement in some exhibits left a lot to be desired. However my class winners did not disappoint me
grizzle bitch in fine coat, caught my eye as soon as she entered the ring, a well balanced bitch with excellent movement. moving straight and true in both directions, level topline, neat ears close to head, lovely otter head with typical Border expression, obviously a very happy bitch well shown (Best Bitch and Best in Show)
