Powerful with super angulations. Presented in excellent condition with coat which is double, flat, and dense being of correct texture. He moved with great power and nobility even at the end of a very long day. Exemplary showman.

Balanced length of neck leading to well-placed shoulders. Deep chest, short coupled with a lovely tailset. Strong and well angulated rear quarters. Coat was beautifully presented and not overdone being soft in texture, clear wheaten in colour loose falling waves. Moved accurately and with style.

BVIS Bearded Collie, Burscough’s Kilfinan Country Colleen ShCM. It was hard to perceive that this stunning bitch was a veteran as she certainly looked a youngster.

I learnt later she had just won a CC – I am not surprised!
