Collie (Rough)

Veteran Dog (2,0), 1 Page, Mr. J. & Mrs. A., Lynmead Amalie Let Me Go: An 11yr old dog still in good condition, with a good s/w coat. He moved well around the ring, and definitely deserved his place and I was pleased to award him BV in Breed.

2 White, Mrs. J., Ch. Mejola Fate And Fortune, Sh.CEx: An 8yr old dog of super type and out-line. This merle should have won this class but was a little sluggish on the move. Pity as I liked him a lot. He was also shown in super coat.

M. Puppy Dog (2,0), 1 Lockyer, Mrs. M.A., Salsina’s Red Hot Crush With Gataj: An 8mth old s/w dog, very sharp and neat looking. So well balanced for his age, his coat is really super for age. He moved out so smoothly on the day, you would not realize his age. I really liked him and was really pleased to award him the Res.CC.

2 Harris, Mrs. S., Geosamka Loves To Love: A 7mth old s/w dog, he is a pleasing type and out-line, needs to sort out the movement.

Puppy Dog (6,0), 1 White, Mrs. J., Mejola Top Gun: A 10mth old sable dog. Absolutely loved him. He is so well put together, everything just fits correctly, could not believe his age, and so masculine for his age. He has a good coat, nothing exaggerated, just right for me. He is a gorgeous type and out-line and stands out for me, pleased to award him BP and the DCC. I loved the look on your face, brilliant. He moved a dream. Well done.

2 Wray-Ramsden, Mrs. S.L., Takhisis Daggers At Dawn: A 11mth old sable dog is also well grown with a pleasing out-line and has a good out-line. Just a shame to come up against the 1st today. There is lots to like about him, very masculine, well put together and moved well.
