Bearded Collie

What a lovely entry I had the pleasure of judging today It’s a shame there was no junior or puppy class for this breed as maturity had to come into play Some dogs could have been cleaner and I do not like to see a dog jerked by the neck so aggressively as the dog has not been placed as highly as the exhibitor had liked That being said I thoroughly enjoyed judging you all. Thank you.
