Australian Shepherd Australian Shepherd Club of United Kingdom Open Show 30/03/2025. I would like to thank the Committee for inviting me to judge their Open Show, I had two wonderful stewards who kept the ring going smoothly. I would also like to thank the exhibitors for bringing their dogs. Baby Puppy Dog/ Bitch (4,1)1.Cowley's Sparkaway Maneater Black Tri Bitch BBPIS 2. Sparkaway The Witch Doctor, litter sister and brother 5 half months old both Black Tri's who are very similar and developing very nice. Head and skull are in proportion to body, moderate length of neck, good bone. The first just had that better developed head on the day, alongside a more settled, easy flowing movement. Both should have bright futures. 3 Fitches Durena Dark Knight.
