Border Union 2005
judge Bob Gregory
It is 2 years since I last judged the breed, but in that time
I'm sad to say that upright shoulders
are becoming the norm, which very much affected my placings. Added to thisthe
hot sun on the
day made quite a few exhibits move around the ring with their tails trainting
behind them. As a
breed! have always enjoyed judging them, with their flair, style and arrogance.
I hope this
shoulder problem is nipped in the bud before it becomes endemic in the breed.
