Super dome, excellent stop and a great muzzle and bite. Good moving boy who covers the ground with ease. Expertly handled to present him at his best at all times. He was particularly impressive when stacked presenting a typical outline. I was delighted to add another CC to his tally. 2 Booth's Borderstone Kingman For Lannia. Eyecatching boy with a good outline standing and moving, very easy on the eye. Had the correct crisp coat and he just needs a bit more of it to complete the picture. Super rear.

Not quite the head development of the winner but looked really well in profile when moving. JB (5, 1) 1 Miller's Dryfevalley Miss Muffet. Eyecatching youngster and super temperament which meant that she really showed herself off. Good jacket just coming through. Very typical. 2 Poole's Reidswire Border Bluebell. 10 months so was giving a bit away to the winner. Head still needs to mature. Presented a good outline and when she settled was quite steady.

DANDIE DINMONT JUDGE MIDLAND COUNTIES 17

It is always a joy to judge the Dandies as the dogs give such a lovely welcome, and this appointment was no exception. There were plenty of typical Dandie temperaments on display with that greeting, via a real wag of the tail and expressive eyes just melting you as they look at you. Overall, I felt that movement has improved a little, and in a number of cases movement did sway my decisions. On a less positive note, I felt that there were one or two narrower skulls with more foreface than is desirable and there were one or two "iffy" bites which needs to be watched.
