Puppy (1/0)

1st-Dr Olivers Smart as a whip danger zone at Tambuzi (imp esp) 7month old b/w dog. What a lovely attitude this young boy has , attentive to his owner but with a glimpse of naughtiness. Good for size, head developing nicely. Correct eye shape, good bite, correctly set ears. He is well proportioned for one so young. Good length of neck into well angled shoulders, straight front with correct bone, good angle to pasterns, oval feet. Good depth to chest with well sprung ribs, correct loin.

He moved around the ring with lovely reach and drive, head lowered and tail down, keeping his topline covering the ground with minimum effort. Best of breed, best puppy in breed.

 Junior(3/1)

1st-Dr Olivers Tambuzi guess who’s back. Just short of 1 year old b/w bitch of good size and structure. Lovely head, correct oval shaped eyes and good earset giving that typical border collie expression. Lovely length of neck into well placed shoulders. Good angles front and rear with moderate bone and well muscled. Well proportioned all through, moved well coming and going, good side profile with typical border collie movement showing lovely reach and drive. I thought she would have been my BOB but when up against the young dog he was more settled on the move. Reserve best of breed.

Good length to neck into well placed shoulders, good angles front and rear, good height to length proportions.

2nd-Spurrs Dreamwork collat’ral beauty. 7years old red merle bitch. Workman like girl with lots to like. She is well proportioned with good bone for size.
