First Place in 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.
10 months old blue and tan with nice markings. Lovely and narrow all through and easily spannable Keen expression, balanced head with good ears and set., to be picky would prefer slightly more bone for his height but moved out well with an easy stride and felt he could go all day BPD
