Many thanks to the committee for asking me to judge at their show. I had a really enjoyable day and I would like to thank all the exhibitors for accepting my decisions graciously.

ROUGH COLLIES – P (3,1) 1 Mellish’s DEMELEWIS DOUBLE TAKE. Almost 12 mths tri b. Flashy girl who just exudes femininity. Clean head with a good underjaw, correctly placed dark eyes and ears bang on top giving a sweet expression. Great reach of neck and length of back finishing with a super long tail. Well angulated both front and rear and side gait really showing off her front reach. BP & RBOB. 2. Wray-Ramsden’s TAKHISIS MIDSUMMER DAWN. Just 6 mths s/w b.
