Bournemouth 2012

Judge: Mrs Zena Thorn Andrews

VD(1) 1 Lister's Ch Eridor Im Mr Blu At Newarp  (Imp Aus). Lovely head and expressive eyes, a touch thick in neck now and  underline rather too deep. He is very good moving and has such a firm topline,  nicely angulated and super tail set and carriage.

PD(2) 1 Forbes  &Forbes' Natalain Vidi Vici At Willowhurst (Imp Rus). Two nice puppies.  Winner super in head and expression, neat ears, set well up and tipped over  nicely, fair front, good ribbing carried well back, excellent quarters and  tail, good hard coat, moved out well and smoothly. 2 French's Foxearth Flock  Master For Breckamore. Very fit and hard in condition, a bit deep through in  back skull and ears set too wide apart and not tipped over enough, excellent  typical Collie front, well bodied firm backline and super quarters, well  handled to ge the best out of him.

JD(3) 1 French's Foxearth Flock  Master For Breckamore. 2 Gidding's Ryecombe Discovered Gold A nice dog for size and proportions, clean head, good  neck, ok in front, not as hard in topline as winner, ok in rear, lovely hard  coat, well set tail, good head planes and eye placement, ears set a little too  low. 3 Leach's Manordeifi Dionysus At Hilltarn.

GD(1) 1 Leach's  Manordeifi Dionysus At Hilltarn. Good merle, looked good standing but not as  fit as he could be and he needs a little more weight and spring of rib, good  proportions of height to length, sound legs and tight oval pads.

PGD (2)  1 Leach's Manordeifi Dionysus At Hilltarn. 2 Howe's Dawcher Dawn's Sunrise.  Tall and rather straight behind, needs more neck and a lower set of tail, good  legs and feet, fair head, sound mover.

LD (2, 1) 1 and Res CC, Moores'  Manordeifi Storm Breaker. Sound mover and he has a typical Collie action in  profile. Liked his head and head planes, ok in front, firm backline, sound  quarters, a bit more tuck up would improve as he looked a bit too heavy through  the waist.

OD (4, 2) 1 and CC, Hutchings' Collidach Molloney Ta Tu You.  Lovely mover and although he stands overwide in front he does not move that  way, good head and eyes but ears set too low, well made and nicely muscled,  correct topline and rear, well carried tail. Won the CC on his flowing side  gait. 2 Norman &Ratcliffe's Easy Listening At Seanua. Looked worried and  rather crept round the ring, not holding his topline either, super head and  better ears than winner, deep chest, ok in rear and carried his tail down  nicely.

VB (1) 1 Coates' Starlight Spirit At Pencloda. Ears a little  uneven, good length to foreface, well splashed merle, very good mover for her  age but she has lost her tuck-up, good legs and feet and such a happy  personality!

PB(2) 1 Rice's Kevranna Theras Enate Echo. Gorgeous head,  eyes and sweet expression, sound front, a touch long cast and her topline needs  to strengthen, excellent quarters and tail set, moved well, just a bit  'bouncy'. 2 French's Finnish Touch For Breckamore. Lower set and carriage of  ears spoilt her expression and she too was soft in topline, she was very hard  and well muscled, deep enough in body and a good deep colour, hope her backline  hardens up and she is a lovely bitch.

JB(2) 1 CC and BOB, Lister's  Manordeifi Miss Daisy At Newarp. Typy and looks ok stood for balance and keeps  her topline moving too! Good head, ears a bit low set, enough neck for  elegance, strong legs and feet, shows well and has excellent quarters. 2  Moores' Manordeifi Silver Dazzler. Feminine and well marked, her front is not  her fortune and feet rather open and splayed, enough rear angulation, pleasing  head and ears, not moving well in front or profile.

GB(2) 1 Beeney's  Kingrock Bathsheba At Coneypark. Top class bitch, super head and head planed  are parallel, well set ears, tipped over well, excellent front and forechest,  good body and couplings, super rear, maybe needs a little more time to mature  further but I thought her very impressive for her age of 18 mths. 2 Moores'  Manordeifi Silver Dazzler.

PGB (3) 1 Lister's Manordeifi Miss Daisy At  Newarp. 2 Robinson's Southcombe Summer Special At Dawcher. Lovely head, sweet  expressive eyes, soft topline which shows up both standing and moving, ok in  front and rear angles, good hard coat, well coupled, fair mover. 3 Moores'  Manordeifi Silver Dazzler.

LB(3, 1) 1 Sewell's Foxearth Dressed To  Frill. Two nice feminine bitches. Winner pleasing head and expression, neat  ears set well, ok in front, a bit soft in pasterns and feet, well bodied, good  quarters, well set tail, shows nicely keeping a good firm backline. 2 Coates'  Alopex Blue Moon. A little lighter in bone and not the clean head of winner,  she is very true and precise on the move, has a good ribcage and firm back,  maybe could do with a little more length of foreleg for her body type and  length.

OB(4, 1) 1 and Res CC, Giddings' All That Jazz At Ryecombe. Good  for head and neck, hard and very fit all through, ok for proportions of height  to length, brown showing through her black coat too much, excellent topline and  tail and a grand mover. 2 Hutchings' Collidach Molloney Fay Mouse. Neat and  very true moving, not the elegant neckline of above but nicely made, super  quarters and she really drives off those hocks, fit and sound, she is a quality  bitch. 3 Moores' Manordeifi Silvadora.
