similar look to winner but not the front action, head OK and better eye shape and size, good neck and topline, correct coat.

1st - Radnorvalley Goshawk of Rhozzum (Mrs M Sharp)
very attractive type of correct size, nice body with correct ribs, good topline, enough substance and bone, racy sort who moved better than most in the class, good enough head but would like a more positive attitude as shown by the eventual winners.
2nd - Nookshot Highland Toffee (Miss R Newman)
a smart more confident dog of correct outline and attractive head slightly spoilt by a large ear, not the movement of 1 but in good coat which was a shade short for my personal preference.
3rd - Akenside Xerox (Mr P Nuttall & Ms C Gerrard)
a plainer one who looked good standing, nice enough head and in good coat, moved well behind but front let him down.

attractive dog of correct outline, good length of neck and topline, good hindquarters which he used well, front not so positive, ideal size and good head, showed well.
2nd - Alcumlow Shooting Star (Mr M & Mrs C Evans)
nice general type in good coat and condition, masculine head, dark eye, another good behind with incorrect front construction so not the best in movement.

beautifully balanced dog with attractive head, correct length of neck and good topline, by far the soundest mover in the class, excelled behind, shown in good coat.

not the front of winner but a very attractive, quality dog, looked lovely standing, good head and eye, would prefer a smaller ear, expressive showman.
3rd - Tulawyn Oberon At Tilmoray (Mrs M Small)
very nice type of dog with nice head and dark eyes spoilt today by a rather dull expression, in lovely coat and condition but another who lacked the correct front movement.

VHC - Digmoor Aces High JW (Mr M P & Mrs S V Regan)
Entries: 17 Absentees: 5
Such a hot class, loved all 4 of top placings.
1st - CH Tythrop Tapas (Mrs J Lee)
having given this one a previous BOB all know that I love this dog. Such an elegant, quality balanced Border from the tip of his nose to the end of his tail, great topline which he holds perfectly on the move, effortless free striding gait, perfect long, deep narrow ribs, great coat and condition CC, won BOB on maturity over a beautiful bitch.
2nd - CH Gameway Charles Dickens (Mrs P Clark)
although I prefer the strength of head of 1 this is another lovely dog, in great condition, perfect for size and bone, correct in outline, make and shape. RCC.
3rd - CH Hesslemere Hi Karate JW (Mrs C Davis)
like so many in this class, looked spot on today, lovely headed dog typey and balanced all through, gave a little away only on front movement

1st - Quatford Kiss 'n' Tell At Fehmarn (Shaw, Angus & Jane Morton)
could you want any dog to look better at 12 years old, came into the ring with a spring in her step, a happy girl who knew she was the winner, in good coat, still a full mouth as far as I could see, so fit and moved better than most younger bitches. Hope I?m as good at her age!
2nd - CH Manx Margaid ShCM (Mr B J & Mrs K D Stockley)
attractive nearly 8 year old still good in outline and very fit, moved well round the ring, obviously enjoying her day, in lovely coat.
3rd - Mulysa Miss Muffet (Prevost, Mrs. W.A.)
11 years old, my word Borders do hold their looks into old age, another fit and spritely one in lovely coat.

1st - Bandicoot Jazz (Mr G E & Mrs V L K Docwra)
very pretty, quality puppy in great coat, correct outline with length of neck and good tail set, level backline held on the move, excels behind, would just prefer a more positive front action but pressed hard for RCC, lost out not surprisingly on lack of maturity.
2nd - Hartswelin Tip Top (Ms L J Godefroid)
feminine puppy built much on the same lines as 1, excels in neck and topline typical in head, good body and ribs, needs to reach more from the shoulder rather than just the pastern, lovely coat and temperament.
3rd - Bortino Smiling Queen (Mr D K & Mrs D Martin)
a bigger one but still attractive, good in head and expression, correct bone for size, not the strength in topline of first two.

1st - Southash Blue Betty Boo Gameway (Mrs P Clark)
for me she walked in and conquered all other bitches, with just a touch more maturity would have beaten the male as well, a beautiful true blue full of style and presence, wonderful Border type, most attractive head, elegant well made body, correct for ribs, topline and tail set when she looked at you had such perfect Border expression, shown in fantastic order, beat the winner of an excellent Open class for CC. Will be even better by next Crufts.
2nd - Mascani Daisy At Cynetkoy (Mr S D Watson & Mrs A S Kenna)
a pretty youngster of correct type all through, liked her head and correctly made body, showed well, not quite the movement of winner and unlucky to be in the class with her.
3rd - Jaslou Juneau (Mr & Mrs G R Baker)
rather too black for me but excellent coat and condition, nice head and general outline correct tail set, not the best of feet, went well behind.

1st - Grindelvald Miss Teak At Eltonfurze (Mrs A Fray)
lovely head with better sized ears than many and really moved well both ways, liked her for this and her overall balance, in good coat and condition, not as showy as some but other points more than made up for it.
2nd - Rexlands Golden Plover By Karison JW (Miss K & Mrs D Johnson & Pearson)
outgoing bitch of a lovely type, correct bone for size, nice head and eye, not in the coat of 1 and not the movement but attractive overall.
3rd - Benattivo Gemstone For Daluce (Mr J & Mrs H M Thomas)
another lovely type, good head and expression but ear on the large side not as outgoing as 2 but in better coat, these two could change places any time.

if only this one had more confidence, has a lovely head and general type lending a quality look to her, moved quite well and in good coat.

1st - Otterwood Ilex JW ShCM (Mr M J & Mrs J M Hollingsbee)
a pity she had no coat but such a nice type and so full of quality that I forgave it, topline and front could be better on the move but stylish and attractive.
2nd - Lutrabeck Liberty (Mr R J & Mrs C Hand)
in slightly better coat but not moving well either ways today, a nice attractive type though.
3rd - Hesslemere Miss Lemon JW (Mrs C Davis)
a nice balanced bitch of quality, nice head but the large ear spoilt expression for me and another whose movement was all over the place.

preferred the head of winner but a lovely balanced bitch in good coat, well made quarters which she used well, showy girl.

1st - CH Picer Bright Idea JW (Mr G & Mrs S Pickering)
really liked this red from the moment she entered the ring, oozes quality and type with the most attractive head, nothing plain about her, very balanced and moved well, pushed the blue bitch hard for CC but I had already fallen in love. RCC.
2nd - Kelgram Kaya Kalpis For Pipruda (Mr & Mrs J W Alpe)
looked so good standing but lost her topline on the move, a stylish bitch with a great expression who moved back and forth well, in good coat but personally preferred the quantity and depth of coat of 1.
3rd - Swe CH Rockamore Limelight (S Axelsson & Mrs P J Clark)
the third of four really nice bitches whom I?m sure will and have changed places at other times, for me not the head and expression of 1 & 2 and ears rather big, has an excellent body, good topline and tail set, correct ribs and length of neck, not the front movement of the winners.
