First Place in Limit - Bitch, Judge: Mrs Jane Morton-Shaw (Fehmarn)
Many thanks to the committee for inviting me to judge what turned out to be the last Joint Ch Show. I had a wonderful day, & I was very ably and efficiently aided by my two stewards Tracey Anscombe and Peter Armstrong & I send my thanks out to them again (shows can’t run without good stewards).
My main down side to a lot of the Borders I went over was the front movement (I’m not immune to this either)! This needs watching and careful breeding to try and improve on this fault – not easy I know, but something to aim for. Again very few Borders with a good thick pelt which we used to have. Top lines have much improved generally and good to see that most of the exhibits were in good fit/hard condition.
She stood out in the class as soon as they were moved around the ring. She moved like a dream with drive and fluidity. She was in fabulous coat and had a good pelt. Good in both front & rear angulation & bend of stifle. Neat feet, good ear placement. Well laid back in rib & easily spanned. BCC/ BIS
