It was a great privilege for me to judge the Smooth Collies at this club show. I was pleased with the quality and in the manner in which my decisions were accepted. Although she is getting on in years Ch.Newarp Jesena Moonlight Sonata did enough to be awarded ResBIS on the approval of my co-judge. I was pleased with the decision of the referee to have Hilltarn Valentine as BPIS. It was a pity that the Junior Handling classes were not well supported. 1. & BPDIS.
