OB (10) 1 Tikkanen's By Ch Timonan Xyliet Xylona. Although being firstly a Rough Collie specialist, I have been involved in this breed since 1988 when purchasing a bitch from the famous Fairline Kennel in Sweden, having then sent a bitch back to become a Show, Obedience & Working Champion there, Many years of judging in Scandinavia I have been accustomed to judging Smooth's of the very highest quality It was such a pleasure to see This young femine sable & white bitch was from a very famous Finnish kennel She was just 2 years old on the day. Absolutely stunningly beautiful from head to toe, her head is perfect with a beautiful eye & expression correct stop, flattest of skulls, such a clean head topped of with lovely ear carriage, her shape is exquisite super angulated shoulders & stifles, correct tail carriage on the move. Her movement was an easy flowing gait, so sound. It was my pleasure in judging and awarding such an outstanding young lady the CC and Best of Breed. Thank you so much for making the long journey over. 2 Fort's Ch Mighty Spring Meadow For Shulune. Another top quality tri bitch, so unlucky to meet the winner today, as she has many of the same quality's Lovely head & eye, excellent shape, super mover Reserve CC. 3 Hayward's Foxearth French Eclipse.
