West Of England Ladies Kennel Society

WELKS: Shetland Sheepdog

Most were presented in good muscle and clean coats, but many needed to have cleaner teeth, this is part of presentation and husbandry. The longish grass made some look rather short on the leg, but the proportions were better on the table. Some were too long, and some table top flat toplines, which no hint of any sort of sweep over the loins. Strangely I thought the males had better depth of quality than the females, and to be honest the depth of quality was somewhat disappointing. Thankfully there were enough good ones, I was happy with both line ups and delighted that the BOB won the group, and the puppy and veteran were placed in their respective groups, well done.
