A truly fantastic weekend began with the Smooth Collie Club’s golden jubilee Ch show at Ashfordby Amateur Sport Club, which was easy to get to and appeared to be ideal for size, amenities, parking and exercising. The array of prizes, trophies, rosettes, plaques and other specials was excellent, indeed everything indicated that it was a special event. I wished that I had had more time to study the famous Smooth paintings, but at least I did see them, whereas as is usually as a judge I was not able to see the champions parade which I understand gave great pleasure to everyone. I felt the show did the organisers great credit. I know I shall leave out important people for I was not aware of the behind-the-scenes work which must have gone on for months before the show and of course on the day, but I must mention Mr Hayward, the chairman; Mrs J McGregor, secretary; Mrs L Chapman, treasurer; Mr Gibson, show manager; Mr P Sewell, chief steward; Miss D Moores, trophy steward; and Mrs M Foulston. I thank them and the whole committee for running such a happy, friendly show. It was good to see the president, the legendary Mrs Ada Bishop, watching everything carefully. There was an excellent entry of 96 Smooths and 47 Roughs although of course some were absent and 11 entered only in the champions parade. BIS was the Smooth b who had come over from Scandanavia, Int Ch Sandcastle’s Int Ch Sandcastle’s Storm Inateacup. RBIS was the Rough d, Ch Brooklynson from Rio and BP the Smooth Devern Fate A Compli. COLLIE (SMOOTH): MPD (2). 1 Hyde’s Londer Look Smart.

Litter brother but not the assurance yet. Quality head, good eye, generally well made with particularly good quarters. PD (3). 1 Tillier’s Southcombe Set A Flame for Cromarty. Nice headed s/w, good eye, pleasing neck and outline, shapely hindquarters, needs a little more body development to fulfil his promise. BPD; 2 Forbes’ Pelghart Pied Piper. Had the body and rib but not as firm in front and feet, typical head, I would like better tail carriage; 3 Thorne’s Pelghart Pipers Gold. JD (5). 1 Purvey’s Freejack The Highlander. Tri, lovely temperament and scored in movement, nice body and width in thighs, pleasing bone, legs and feet, good tail, could be a little more of him; 2 Hayward’s Foxearth Frenchy.

Attractive s/w, typical head and ears, good over the loin and rump but carrying a little extra weight; 2 Purvey’s Freejack Oh Mi Mi.
