Second Place in Open - Bitch, 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.
also liked this bitch a lot, appealed greatly for overall balance, length & body proportions, good hard coat, OK in head & eye, not the strength of rear of 1 & decided that movement in a sea of mud was not for her
