Border Collie

Junior D/B (1/0)

1st Greggs Pendiffie Kindred Spirit, 14 mth male at a typical junior stage. Nice overall type with good size but would like a little more substance. Good head with room to develop. Rather erratic on the move, but sound. Given time should mature into a nice boy.

Post Graduate D/B (1/0)

1st Dennis Anadune Diamond Delight, almost 20 mth old bitch. Beautiful outline with clean lines. Super feminine head of sufficient broadness and correctly tapering to the nose. Eyes well set of correct shape and super expression. The correctly set semi-erect ears were used to advantage and accentuated the strong expression a working collie should have. Her body was of good length with level topline held well on the move leading to slightly sloping croup and good tail carried correctly. Adequate angulation which aided her smooth, effortless gait, this girl could keep going all day and would certainly be able to do a days work. Very happy to award her Best of Breed.

Open D/B (1/0)

1st Beddows Borderpride Eternal Touch ShCM, flashy 6 year old male, in super coat and condition. Masculine head of good proportions. Good ears which were well set apart but not used as well as he could. Solid body of good shape with good topline held on the move leading to a slightly higher set tail. Ample substance and plenty of angulation, moving well but not the athleticism of my BOB winner, happy to award this handsome lad Res BOB.
