Blackpool Championship Show (22-06-2012)

First Place in Post Graduate - Dog, Judge: Mr Dan Ericsson (Sweden)

Show Critique:

Movement was difficult to assess under these circumstances, but most dogs seemed to cope remarkably well despite knee high mud & a water logged ring – living proof of the hardiness of the breed!
Despite the appalling weather I enjoyed my day with the Borders very much & was impressed with the overall quality of the dogs & the keen sportsmanship of the exhibitors.

Class Critique:

Difficult class to judge with considerable variation throughout

Placing Critique:

very good overall type, excellent otter head with true expression, good body & topline. Would have liked more coat & a stronger rear. Good legs & feet
