BORDER UNION BITCHES

Judge Gloria Gargan

I was so honoured and pleased to have your wonderful bitches to judge. I think the quality that is around at this present time is amazing and the future looks to be bright. In most classes I was really spoilt for choice as they could easily change places the next time I judged them. As owners/ breeders you should be proud to have these lovely dogs in your possession, a few of which I could easily find room at home with me.

Agreed at the end to have the referee choose as both of the exhibits we were choosing for BOB and BP were so wonderful we thought we would give him the pleasure of judging them and agreed with his choices.

This bitch is very well balanced and possesses a stronger but still feminine head with dark pigment and kind eye. She stands on good bone and tight feet, excellent topline and her angulation with correct length of upper arm to layback of shoulder is correct. Well ribbed and quarters that are well bent and hocks well let down aids her movement when moving away which is lovely not close at all. She moves well when viewed from any angle.

This little girl is so well balanced beautifully made throughout, lovely gold coat, feminine head, good pigment.

Had to call in a substitute handler as the owner was not looking very well but the bitch took it in her stride and flowed round with ease.

What a beautiful balanced cream bitch she is, so pretty with a feminine head and good pigment, stands on good bone straight front legs with neat feet, elbows tight, very nice flow of neck and then into her front angulation which is correct, well ribbed body into her excellent quarters. She keeps her level topline on the move which she does with style and drive. Just typical of the stunning progeny from her sire and quality mother.

2ND Zubair Mrs SM & Trinder Mr A THORNYWAIT CINZANO

Gold bitch who caught my eye for her balance, her topline and angulation can be seen before hands on which it is then confirmed that it is correct throughout. Gentle feminine head and a kind expression complete this excellent example. This kennel consistently produces top quality stock and the presentation is always top notch. She moved freely with drive round the ring.
