Best in Show Report Below

Smooth Collies I would like to thank the officers and committee for the invitation to judge the smooth collies at this well run show, what a lovely atmosphere and everything ran smoothly. The only disappointment was the depleted entry, there is a saying if you don't go, you won't know. Every dog is judged on the overall performance of the day. Many Smooth Collies were lacking sound strong hindquarters and of course this shows in the movement. Some, looked good standing only to be let down by poor movement. It saddens me to say that very few Collie's gave the correct ground cover so important to this breed. Exhibiting a dog is an art and it is the exhibitors job to make the best of the dog they are handling. Coming into the ring with a dog hanging on the end of a lead is not enough. Movement could have been improved if the handlers were to have proper control over the dogs lead and the way they conftol the dog when moving. VD. (1). 1. Forbes's, Ch Int/Ir Ch. Pelghart Paint it Black. He is a strong upstanding tri colour in good condition both body and body. Now 8 years old he stil retains good muscle throughout. His head is a trifle strong for me but he has good ears and nice expression. Strong neck and shoulder. Good length of back. He makes a pleasing picture. RCC. YD. (2,1). 1. Denton's, Rycombe Jaffa Cake. Strong back skull, but neat ears and pleasing expresion. Good length of back but lacks substance in hindquarters showing poor movement. Overall in excellent coat and shown in pristine condition. LD. (3). 1. Hill's, Devern Denman. Tri colour of good substance. Nice outline. Lengthy neck and good body length. Deep chest, well sprung ribs. Well muscled hindquarters. His head is of good length but for me slightly flares in the back skull. He has a nice expression and neat ears. Needs to put more effort in on the move. 2. Leach's, Manordeifi Dionysus at Hilltarn. So much to like about this blue dog. Very pleasing head and expresion but looking very rangy in body as he needs more weight. He has such good bone that he needs to fill out to match it. Nice colour, showing well. Lethargic on the move. 3. Forbes's, Natalain Veni Vidi Vici at Willowhurst (Imp). First impression as he came into the ring I thought he would be my winner, as he looked very smart and in excellent coat. But further inspection I found his head rather short and for me he lacked expression, he also insisted in moving out at the elbow. OD. (1). 1. French's, Foxearth Flockmaster for Breckamore JW. Upstanding tri colour all male throughout. He has excellent bone and strong feet. Would have liked more bend of stifle but he has strong hocks and good feet. Good body length and tail set. Shown in excellent coat and condition. Alert and attentive to his handler. Neck is well muscled with the correct crest behind the ears, although his head is a trifle strong for me he does have a nice expression and well placed ears used to advantage. Took jis 3rd CC on the day, BOB and RBIS. PB. (3). 1. Norman's, Seanua Serendipity. Richly coloured sable who was my little star of the day. What a beautiful head on this pretty feminine bitch. She has the most dreamiest expression you could wish for culminating from the correct eye and ear placement. Loved every inch of her. She could have made more of herself but this was her first show and she was rather in awe of herself but this was her first show and she was rather in awe of everything. I contemplated her for the RCC but this let her down. I am sure we will hear more of this pretty bitch. BP. 2. Sweeney's, Foxearth Fine Beauty. Very slightly built, a blue of siuper colour. At 11 months I would like to see more of her as she lacks substance. Rather round in eye, she lacked expresion for me. Movement needs more work. PGB. (2). 1. Campbell's, Rycombe Dolly Mixture. Very feminine sable shaping up well. Pleasing head and expresion, very neat ears. Shown in excellent coat and condition. Shows a good outline with correwct length of back and good tail set. Shows good second thigh, well muscled. Would like to have seen more dribe in the hindquarters on the move but she went quite well. RCC. 2. Beeney's, Rycombe Jolly Jonquil at Coneypark. Darker sable who has pleasing head and expresion. Needs to fill in forechest and rib up. Would like to see stronger hindquarters and she lacks dribe on the move. LB. (8,4). 1. Sewell's, Foxearth Dressed to Frill. Very feminine tri colour bitch with no exaggerations. Her head handles well, good flat skull and neat ears, just the right amount of bone but I would like to see her carry a bit moe weight. Shows non stop. In good coat. Pristine presentation. I wish she had that bit more to give on the move, but did enough to gain her 3rd CC on the day. Well done. 2. Benney's, Kingrock Bathsheba at Coneypark. Pretty sable. Has much to like about her. Pleasing head and expression. Good overall outline, in excellent coat and condition. Would insist on throwing left elbow out on the move. 3. Rice's, Kingrock Adriel for Kevranna. Well up to size tri colour. Rather masculine but has a good outline. Good body length and strong hindquarters. Was in excellent coat and condition. OB. (3). 1. Forbe's, Multi Ch. Kangasvuokon Venice (Imp). A really pretty sable and white with the best of coat I have seen for a long time. Head and expression could not be faulted and the best ear placement ever. What she had was the correct crested neck that is so missing from the breed, but there it ends as her hind movement left so much to be desired, what a shame. 2. Benton's, Alopex Marionetteof Oakestelle. Pretty blue. Tight jacket of excellent colour. Sweet head and expresion, perfect ear carriage and shows non stop. Lacking condition on the day and for me I would like more substance. 3. French's, Foxearth Fingerprint.

Ch Show:I enjoyed my day at the L& P ch show and thank the committee for the invitation to judge BIS. Best in show I awarded to the BOB rough collie an enchanting tricolour puppy Ladnar Harvey Moon, a super well grown dog, in good coat of great texture and deep black colour, well balanced shape with good angulation. Fantastic temperament, lovely head with well moulded muzzle and flat skull, very nice eye, well placed and used ears. So active on the move and so sound. I loved him would have loved to taken him home. Res BIS was the smooth Foxearth Flockmaster for Breckamore tri dog good outline and bone. Well balanced throughout in body, head a little deep but a pleasing expression and moving and showing well. BOS the tricolour smooth bitch Foxearth Dressed to Frill.
