Border Collie

I would like to thank the committee for the invitation and all the exhibitors for your entries.

It was a lovely well run show!

All dogs had correct bites but I prefered some to have a longer tails.

Some of the young girls were a bit upset with eachother in the beginnig of their class. Luckely all settled down and could present themselfs in a relaxed way. Well done to you all to respect eachother at that time.

The ring was a bit slippery so all dogs moved more carefully.

The classses were supported by The Border Collie Club of Great Brittain.

2nd Mrs.L.J Neil Dollindaw Dolly Daydream. Black and white 14 months old female, she caught my eye from the 1st moment. Lovely femine head with pleasing dark eye and semi erect ears using well for her handler.

Good length of neck going into a well laid shoulder. For her age already a well developed chest. Stood parallel in front and rear. Nice strong topline held on the move, correct slooping croup with correct tailset and long tail, good rear angulations. I liked her overall balanced silhouet. Correct movement, needs to settle a bit but that will come with age. Very promissing youngster who was well presented.
