East Anglian Collie Club January 2008

(Smooth): VD/B (2) 1 Hills' Ch Devern Blue Silhouette, very feminine b/m bitch of a lovely colour and markings, head of good balance with correct ears, eye a little round and skull a little deep, she is well constructed and moved well from all angles. Reserve Best of Breed, Best Opposite Sex, Best Veteran In Show. 2 Clark's Astrellita Absoluto, tricolour dog who is in remarkable shape for his age of 12 ? and is a credit to his owner, his head is quite nice although I found his skull a little deep and round and I preferred the shape and overall balance of the winner, he moved very well for his age. PD/B (1) 1 Thorne's Foxearth Crusader, big and strong tricolour dog with very good conformation and movement, a happy boy which, unfortunately, showed in his tail carriage, his head was spoilt a little by protruding veins and his lipline could be better, his overall balance of head is good and he has quite a pleasant expression, his ears are still very heavy, moved well. Best Puppy In Breed. OD (2) 1 Clark's Glencorrie Be Worthy for Astrellita, a handsome tricolour with an appealing shape and very good conformation having a good neck and shoulder, beautiful sound body and good hind angulation, his head is balanced and clean with good ears which he used well, moved well from all angles, a little happy with his tail. Best of Breed. 2 Forbes' Pelghart Paint It Black at Willowhurst, tricolour with excellent confirmation and movement, superb shape, lovely neck, topline, body and angulation, I found his head a little deep through and his eye a little round, good ears which he used well. OB (3) 1 Robinson's Dawcher Dream Searcher, beautifully constructed tricolour, clean and balanced head, eye a little round, good neck, excellent body and overall balance and moved very well. 2 Hills' Devern Fate A Compli, a very feminine tricolour bitch, stylish and smart, good neck, strong body and good topline, clean well balanced head and better expression than the winner but not as good on the move.
