Second 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.
Good b/t who could have had a little more undercoat but lots to like, lovely head pattern with good skull and muzzle, correct length of neck and good shoulder with correct upperarm, good topline, well let down behind, good second thigh and strong short rear pasterns used to advantage on the move
