First Place in Junior - Bitch, 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.
Nice class unfortunately some went cardless as they were really in their petticoats in this good company, very good to handle this workmanlike youngster was hiding her many virtues under a thick, proper coat giving the impression that she was deeper than she in fact was, she moved really accurately fore and aft with a positive ground covering gait, most beautiful and typical otterhead and the sort of expression that fills the eye
