First Place in Limit - Dog, Judge: Miss Sally Leslie (Risdene)
Thank you for a super entry. At times I felt I had been let loose in a sweetie shop such was the quality of the exhibits before me. Indeed because I was spoilt I was hard on jaw and dentition faults and Borders that were more smart terrier than true Border in type. My experience over the years leads me to believe that such faults are heart-breakingly likely to continue to bite in the future if not stamped on. My main winners were true Borders. You read of “a-ha moments†and happily for me there were some rather nice ones here. Good times indeed.
Another fine class with strong contenders for top honours. I wrote in my book “fag paper timeâ€. In perfect fettle a quality exhibit who appears to enjoy the job in hand, of excellent size and spannable. He has super height to length ratios. Really good head piece with lovely skull and muzzle and correct in stop, keen, bright expression. He flows from front to back and moves well too.
