SMOOTH COLLIES

Puppy D/B (6) 1. Russell's Koczkodan Steel My Heart. What a thrill to see a full class of Smooth babies, and this one stood out for me. At not quite ten months this blue merle bitch was an absolute picture, such a pretty head with well placed eyes and ears which she used to advantage. Super neck into a flowing backline, with just the right amount of rise over the loin. Well grown and balanced throughout with enough substance but still elegant and looking every inch a proper Smooth. Excellent angulation, coat of a lovely clear colour and smart on the move. Won this class with ease, and was good enough in my book to go on and take Best of Breed as well as Best Puppy then Best Puppy in Show. Will watch her future progress with interest. 2. Leich's Koczkodan Good As Gold. From the same kennel but a couple of weeks younger this sable and white bitch is a bit rangier than (1), good head proportions, slightly longer in back and tends to flatten over the loin, she has good bone and is well angulated fore and aft, moving with a decent stride. Just needs to fill her frame but has plenty of time on her side. 3. Naulls' Wynele Obsession.

Yearling D/B (3, 1) 1. Howard's Shandlmain's Sofistikate. Seventeen month old tricolour bitch with a good head and expression, underjaw could be stronger, good reach of neck and presents a nice outline standing and on the move. 2. Cowling & Lusty's Blamorder Opulence At Himinnsaga. Strongly built sixteen month old blue merle male, masculine head, with well used ears, good forechest, balanced in body and well angulated. Just needs to tighten up all round. Colour could be clearer.

Post Graduate D/B (1) 1. Brown's Koczkodan's Heart Of Gold. Nine months old this sable male has a well proportioned head, one ear not quite playing the game. He presents a nice balanced outline with good body shape and excellent rear angulation. Coat of nice texture and moving with a free stride.

Limit D/B (2) 1. Benton's Brackenhaye Queen Of Hearts Of Oakestelle. Two year old tri bitch maturing nicely, she has a lovely head shape and keen expression. Good reach of neck, elegant in body and keeps a good topline on the move. Well angulated and moving very nicely. Reserve Best of Breed. 2. Howard's Brackenhaye Heartbreaker At Shandlmain. Litter sister to (1) and stronger all through, nice head but would prefer a slightly better eye, good body proportions, good angulation and moving ok.

Open Dog (1) 1. Howard's Jack Mack's Va Buidhinn Of Shandlmain (Imp Deu). Handsome four year old tri, masculine head, dark eye, well placed and used ears. He presents a good outline and is well angulated. Tends to flatten over the loin. Moving with drive. Best Opposite Sex.

Open Bitch (3) 1. Benton's Oakestelle Venus De Milo. Eight year old blue merle who always gives value for money. She has a well balanced head and good reach of neck, her body is balanced but would just prefer more of her all over. She has good angulation but is a bit light in bone. Moving as well as ever and always owns the ring. Best Veteran. 2. Forbes' Willowhurst Vanity. Another eight year old, these Smooths do last well. Nice head piece with a keen expression, bit longer cast than I would like, good body condition and well angulated, very attentive to her young handler who did a great job. 3. Naulls' Wynele Blu Alice.
