First Place in Minor Puppy - Dog, Judge: Mrs Linda Coleman (Hartswelin)
I enjoyed my judging and appreciated the good sportsmanship around the ring with applause for all class placings, this is so often lacking these days. In the males there were a lot shown in single coat so these were not in contention on the day, also quite a few were difficult to span. I did not find these problems in the bitches However as many judges before me have commented, good front movement is the exception rather than the norm and these Borders would easily tire following a horse all day.
Nearly 9 months gr in super tight coat, well presented and shown well, as always by this exhibitor. Lovely tail set on well, super head and expression. Moved out well on super tight feet, true fore and aft. Preferred the length of rib of the winner of PD
