Second Place in Post Graduate - Dog, Judge: Mr Dan Ericsson (Sweden)
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.
Difficult class to judge with considerable variation throughout
similar in type to 1 & equally short of coat on the day, but also well made overall & of good type & size, showed well despite the appalling weather conditions. Preferred the head of 1 & this was the deciding factor in this class
