Smooth Collie

Junior 

1st Coldelee Busy Bein Fabulous, 8 mths attractive female with a clean outline. Head is wedge shape with dark eyes and tipped ears. I would like a little more underjaw but that may come with age. Long arched neck into a correct shoulder and return of upperarm. firm topline and correct tail and croup. Moves true going away but needs to firm up in front towards. A close call for BOB but just lacked understandably the maturity of BOB winner. 

Post Grad

1st Blamorder I Dreamed a Dream at Mystery, 18 mths tri, a little longer in body than required, head is clean cut but broader in back skull than I prefer, correct eye shape, ear set correct but would like more tip. Long clean arched neck into a reasonable shoulder and return of upperarm. Topline is level but could be harder.. Correct tailset and croup. Moves true coming and going with reach and drive in profile. Nails could do with being shorter for a neater foot. 

Open

1st Blamorder Magic Maker with Freejack, 3 yr male, who is borderline a little much for me but he is well put together and uses himself to advantage. Head is clean and wedge shape with dark eyes, correct stop and underjaw. He could be cleaner in throat but neck fits correctly into the shoulder with firm topline. Correct tailset. Moves true with drive and confidence. 

2nd Coldelee Eternal Sunshine, on first appearance I thought this female would be my winner, I prefer her angles and bone etc but I would like a little more forthcoming on the move. Head is clean wedged shaped with dark eyes and correct length of muzzle. Prefer more underjaw. Long clean neck into a decent shoulder and return of upperarm. Topline is firm with correct tailset and croup. Balanced angles and moves true going away but could be cleaner towards. She moves with enough reach and drive I would just like a little more push and flow in profile from her. 

GSD

Puppy

1st Chalksvilles Running Eagle at Virlees, 6 mths at her first show, very promising and attractive in shape. she is clean and flowing. Head is correct length with correct width of skull, defined stop. dark eyes although I would like a little more almond and well filled underneath. Correct strong underjaw, Ears set correctly although larger than I would prefer, correct length of neck into a well laid shoulder and return of upperarm. Firm topline with a slight slope to the croup. She has superb feet which lacks in the breed. Moves true coming and going showing reach and drive in profile. If she had of been a little older with some more schooling she would have been a strong contender for BOB, Super puppy who Im sure will do well.

Lancashire Heeler

I enjoyed judging these very much, a first time for me with some decent numbers in the breed to choose from. 

1st Foveaux China Girl, I liked this females attitude who uses herself to full advantage on the stack. She is balanced with correct body ratios, She sometimes stands a little slack in topline but when she moves this disappears so I’m sure this will correct itself with age and exercise. Skull is flat and of correct width. slight stop with dark almond eyes. I would like more fill under the eye, ears correctly placed, moderate neck into a well laid shoulder and sufficient upperarm. Topline level with balanced angles fore and after. Uses herself to full advantage on the move, Sass & attitude, moves true out and back with brisk free flowing gait.
