West Of England Collie Society

Today we had a lot of problems with the heat . It was 31 degree's outside and the sun was burning. The committee decided judging would be inside. A good choice, a bad decision though to not put carpets down, The floor was like glass. A lot of bitches stood badly and couldn't move on the floor. Places could change on a different floor or on grass. shame a few I really liked lost out on top honours

 1st.  Margetts Amalie Let Me Be at Collingvale S/W Presented to perfection. I couldn't believe she was  10 years old, apart from a little white on her face, she still retains the beauty of her youth. I would of thought this bitch was a champion.  Super conformation a lesson in balance, she is a lovely size, so correct at the rear in stifle \ hocks. Judging by the muscle she must still enjoy a lot of free running. Head handles well. Lovely expression, ears bang on top. She moved correctly in her class but decided she wasn't going to go in the challenge. Serious consideration for top honors today.

MP 3 (1) 1st Walker & Ritchie Nelinka De Remember Our Love for Starlenga ( imp Fra ) Tri of 8 months What a lovely picture she presents, her coat shone, beautifully groomed. Well balanced all over. Head is lovely, ears are correct and she uses them, nice expression, well boned legs and neat tight feet. Good body shape , short hocks. Another effected by the floor today. When she put the effort in her movement was true. Best Puppy Bitch and Best Puppy in Breed

PB 3 (1) 1st Tippers Tiganlea Too Good To Be True. 11 months s/w Well grown. She decided today not to co operate with her handler and kept standing badly , but she moved well. Well placed ears , good foreface, nice reach of neck and deep chest. good rise over the rump, fininishing in a long tail.

2nd Ware's Monsalona Call Me A Star at Wassail. Nice size and colour B/M The coat is well broken. good tan markings. Head handles well and is balanced, she does have a problem with her ears but should settle with age. Good reach of neck, nice length of back moved better than she stood.

Junior 4 (1) !st. Growcott's Lillyway Lemonade Blush. I wrote on my notes , a bit of a handful and she was. . When she pulled it together, she presents a nice picture, ears, eyes and stop correct. Now and then she stood four square on good legs and feet ,  . moved well, with a bit more maturity she should be in with chances of tickets

2nd Walkers & Ritchie Beldones Baby Think Twice at Starlenga. Finer all over than 1 B/m of lovely colour , no black patches, well broken. Her head is lovely, she has nice well placed eyes . Her ears are on top and she can use them . Another who stood badly but moved well, one of the few who moved with drive.

2nd Hollywoods Black and Sassy with Amalie. Just as the name says, Tri of the blackest of coats and sassy , oh my she  is that. What a handful . She has the most gorgeous head and expression, with a flashback  to expressions I remember. eye is oval, dark and correct, stop correct, ears bang on top small and tight. all makes her stunning and then, she never stands still, her legs are every where, all she wants is to play, she crosses them, stands on three legs, crouches, jumps, does everything but stand there and yet when she moves she bought it all together and moved so well.
