I appreciated the good entry. With a ring rather restricted in size ( not to mention a bitterly cold wind blowing through the cattle shed), I felt it was necessary to give the dogs as much opportunity as possible to move. Unfortunately, several moved rather wide behind, while one or two were plaiting in front. Coats were a problem , with a couple of good looking dogs showing absolutely no topcoat at all. It was interesting to see that most, but not all, of the dogs that I saw when I last judged Borders in 2010 had come on well.

1st - Saygo Of Hassage (Ms E D Rumsam)
not a lot separating the first two. Preferred the head and body shape of the winner. Moved well both ways, helped by good hindquarters and a nice narrow front.
2nd - Daluce Soldier Of Fortune (Mr J & Mrs H M Thomas)
giving away two months to the winner and this showed in the immaturity of the head. Bones still developing, but should remain a good size. Much to like and should have a good future.

1st - Cobstoneway River Magic JW ShCM (Miss C Spencer)
CC and BOB, has come on so well since I last judged him, when I noted that I liked him a lot. Today, moved so well and had perfect balance throughout. Head has developed well, good eye s and ears well placed. Lovely, unexaggerated reach of neck. Hindquarters just right. In good coat. I gather he already has a couple of Res ccs to his credit
2nd - Cobstoneway Lazy River (Mesdames R & J Squibbs & Barker)
