Bearded Collie

MPD. 1st Aratika Dust From A Distant Sun. Really promising 8 month old pup to start the day. Standing alone but all quality and could easily hold his own in stronger competition. Delightful head, eye and expression. Moderate neck. Well angled front and back and well balanced all through. Holds his outline very well. Still rather loose on the move, as one would expect at this stage, but sound in all directions. Good puppy coat.

PD. 1st Kiltondale Heat OF The Night. At 11 months more mature all through and appeals greatly in outline and general outlook. Pleasing head, good strength to muzzle with a strong underjaw. Good reach and arch of neck. Developing well in depth of chest. Good lay of shoulder, strong bone, Firm topline and muscular loins. Excellent rear and low tail set and carriage. Moved out well. BPD.

JD. 1st Farmarens Like A Circus For Kiltondale. Top quality dark slate young dog and a future star in the making! Beautifully balanced outline, with ideal height to length proportions. Super head, masculine, square skull and complimented by a strong muzzle and underjaw. Good eye colour giving a melting expression. Long, reachy neck leading to a well laid shoulder and return of upperarm. Deep, roomy chest. Excellent ribs, correct shape and length. Good topline and short, strong loins. Excellent rear angulation. Low set, firm hocks. Excellent tail set, length and carriage. Super coat and condition and immaculate presentation. Moved with reach, plenty of drive and a scopey side gait. Completely filled my eye on the day and had no hesitation in awarding him the CC, his second, on this form his title can’t be far away.

2nd Potterdale Platnum Jubilee. Another super young dog and rather unlucky to come up against 1st on the day. Great type. Medium sized and appeals greatly for his balanced outline. Excellent head, moderate neck. Good angles. Excellent topline. Sound mover, driving off well from low hocks. Excellent tail carriage. Quality, double coat. Another with a great future.

3rd Sylvabrae Newtons Law.

YD. 1st S. Newtons Law. Stood 3rd in a good Junior class. Pleasing for type and outline. Very good head for shape, balance and strength. Moderately angled front and back. Firm topline. Moves very well, just not quite the extension of those above him today. Coat typical for age and should harshen further with maturity.

GD. 1st Saint Laurent De Chester At Caldermist. A very honest, workmanlike male. Masculine in outlook but not coarse in anyway. Good head shape, but still needs to finish fully. Super reach and arch of neck. Good front angles. Chest ok for age. Quality bone. Excellent ribs. Strong topline. Well angled rear. Good angle to croup leading to a low tail set. Scopey mover.

3rd Pepperjay Bartholomew. Completed a trio of excellent examples of the breed.

2nd Ch. Snowmead Shades Of Gray. Liked this blue boy since first seeing him as a youngster and he took the Res CC last time I judged. Still rate him very highly as he appeals greatly in outline, conformation and, as always from this kennel, beautifully turned out. Just preferred croup and tail set of 1st. Moved with reach, drive and an effortless gait. No disgrace being second today in this high quality class.
