Three Counties Agricultural Society

I enjoyed my day judging the Bearded Collies as my last appointment in a breed so close to my heart it was a day of mixed emotions I thank all the exhibitors for there entries. We have one or two small problems one being over-coated the KC are watching and huge coats are not part of a beardie standard and the other being short tails both were present in this entry another of which I have mentioned in passed write-ups is kick ups in Beardies not only is it not a good look but it is wasted energy I think the breed is in good hands, today their was just not enough red cards for so many super dogs some that I have judged before. Big thank you to my two stewards.
