ROUGH COLLIES.

Thank you to those who braved the elements, and my hard working steward, special mention to a junior handler who sat for hours doing paperwork.

Things to watch which we are all aware of in Rough Collies, a lack of underjaw; and a round full eye detracts from that sweet expression we should strive to attain. Movement let down many, even allowing for flooring, mats and ring size. Good to see cleaner teeth.

PUPPY. (2,1a)

1. LOCKYER's ULTIMATE RESULT DU CLOS DE SEA-WIND at GATAJ. (Imp Fra). 9 mths old striking tri colour,well set dark eye,wedge head,correct planes,rich tan,ears used well,arch of neck set off by three quarter white collar, shapely,adequate tail length,moved out well. BPIB.PPG3.

SPECIAL YEARLING. (3)

1. LOCKYER's GATAJ ALL THAT SPARKLES. Just coming up to a year old S/W bitch, with an attractive expression set off with a dark eye, ears used well,would prefer a tad more underjaw but correct scissor bite,well bodied, rise over her loins, neat feet, took this class on movement.
