I would like to thank the exhibitors for excepting me as their replacement Judge due to the unexpected illness of the appointed judge. VD (3,2) 1 Gadd's Chicnoir Quartermaster. Good head. Well placed ears. Needs to lose a little weight. Moved well. PGD (4,1)1 Evans' Southcombe Starman. Nice colour Blue merle. Lovely head and eye. Good stop. Used his ears well. Good bend of stifle. Moved well. 2 Gadd's Snuggletooth Filly's Fellow At Chicnoir. This tri colour had a nice head. Dark but round eye. Erratic on the move. 3 Gadd's The Blacksmith At Chicnoir. OD (4,2) 1 Norman & Ratcliffe Easy Listening At Seanua (BD, BOB, BIS). There is a lot to like about this sable dog. He is all male. Lovely head and eye. Good reach of neck and bend of stifle. Lovely mover. In agreement with the Rough Collie Judge went Best in Show. Well done. 2 Purvey's Norfield Silver Knight For Freejack (RBD). Blue merle. Nice size and shape. Liked his head and eye. Nice dark tan markings. Moved well. VB (1) 1 Purvey's Chicnoir Hors La Loi. Tri colour. Good shape. Nice head but wouldn't use her ears. Nice mover. PGB (3,1) 1 Gidding's All That Jazz At Ryecombe (RBB). Tri who stood and showed well. Good head and eye. Moved very well. 2 Coates' Alopex Blue Moon. Blue merle. Liked her head and eye. Showed and moved well, but feel she needs to body-up to finish the picture. OB (4) 1 Gidding's Ch. Foxearth Gold Filigree (BB BOS). Nice sable with good head and eye. Nice reach of neck and well placed shoulders. Very good on the move. 2 Benton's Alopex Marionette Of Oakestelle. Same remarks as her litter sister Blue Moon. I thought that Blue Moon had a better eye. 3 Purvey's Freejack A Touch Of Magic.
