Edwinstowe & District CS – Friday 3rd April 2026

My thanks to Eunice and her committee for this lovely invite to judge at Edwinstowe. I had a top-notch steward, Mr Colin Langan, who was so professional and efficient.

ASD

Puppy

1st Hutchcroft - Norcis Algiz, top end of puppy and really charming lad. Masculine but not coarse, super shape and outline and moved really well.

2nd Wray-Ramsden – Aussie Revolution Conquer - she’s a super show girl who just lost out to a more mature dog. Lovely bone, sweet head and expression and moved easily around the ring.

Junior

1st Cowley - Sparkaway Gets My Goat, he’s a show off and had a demanding ‘look at me’ attitude. He’s young but was so together. Super rear angulation which really drives him around the ring and gives him an eye catching side gait. Best Puppy and Puppy Group 3.

P. Grad

1st Harris - Milwyr Jubilee Concert, black tri girl with super rear movement. Feminine throughout and in no way coarse. Lovely mover and handled to perfection.

Open

1st Walsh & Davies - Rochelle Maid To Dream BOB – loved her shape and outline, so typical. Firm topline both stood and on the move. Good head piece. She moved well in all directions and has a super coat and immaculately presented and handled. BOB and Group 3

2nd Beard - Shloyan The Songs of Ice And Fire For Kellitcreed (IKC). Smaller all round but in proportion. Good angles and balanced outline. The winner just gave that little bit more on the move. RBOB

Briard

Puppy

1st Trimnell – Vallonne Magical Flame. Fawn girl showing so much promise. Beautiful head and good neck, firm topline, chest needs to develop, as expected at this age, super easy mover. Cover in a lovely coat and well presented. BP, RBOB and Puppy Group 4

Open

1st Fieldsend - Ch Honey I’m Home Moravia Campanella At Starwell JW – he’s just super in all departments. Loved his masculine head, good neck, firm topline, balanced angulation and he covered the ground effortlessly. Well presented and handled to get the best from him at all times. BOB and Group Winner

Collie Smooth

Junior

1st Wensley – Blamorder Starstruck By Versatilis, 14 mth old girl who really pleases the eye. Lovely outline with a firm topline. Sweet expression, nice eyes and well set ears. Moved well, she just needs to settle to really show herself off. RBOB

P Grad

1st Corben- Stormsett Shadow Dancer Via Caprioara, tri boy with dark eyes and nice expression. Strong neck leading to a nicely angulated front. Just loses his topline a little and didn’t move quite as positive as the main winners. Super temperament and handled well.

Open

1st Benton – Ch Blamorder Double Or Quits Of Oakestelle JW BOB, loved her outline and ring presence. So feminine throughout, with a lovely head, good neck, firm topline and angulated front and rear and she moves so well around the ring. So well presented and handled. BOB and Group 4

2nd Corben – Stormsett Snow Crystal – a nice blue merle lady who lost out to a younger exhibit. She’s a little short in upper arm which doesn’t give her the reach however her rear has the required angles. Sweet expression.

Estrella Mountain Dog

Junior

1st McKinlay - Estjak Valley Zezere RBOB 16 mth old girl with a super head and dark pigment. Stood she looks a picture, she’s a steady mover and just needs to be a bit tighter which should come with age – plus I think she would benefit from a larger ring to really allow her to move. RBOB

Open

1st McKinlay - Kayarrach Wish Upon A Star – She is a star! She is lovely and in tip top condition throughout, coat, muscle tone and confident temperament. So easy to watch on the move coming from her well angulated front and rear. A really pleasure to judge.

Shetland Sheepdog

Puppy

1st Walker - Grandgenes Scintillating – scintillating and captivating rolled into one. Such ring presence for one so young! At just 7.5 mths she wasn’t phased by Newark! Sweetest of expressions with lovely eyes and ear set. She is still to develop as expected at such a young age.

Junior

1st Walker - Cuilshelties Touch Of Class With Grandgenes BP a super boy and at 10.5 mths is quite mature. Super on the move and such a eye catching side gait. Loved his head proportions and expression. Neck of correct length and outline so graceful. BP and Pastoral Puppy Group Winner.

2nd Hickling – Sheltisha The One And Only JW – oh dear, another super lad who was unfortunate to meet the winner. Super outline and shape both stood and on the move. Beautiful expression and such kind eyes. Super lad.

Post Grad

1st Jackson – Kishdigra An Irish Blessing For Clairavelle (IKC) – a blessing indeed, she is lovely. Graceful outline and in tip top condition and covered in a lovely coat. Moved out well to win this class. Well handled.

2nd Sorocky – Shazbec Maid Of Honour At Sheltisha – smaller but balanced and ultra feminine and moved well. Super head and expression.

Open

1st Hickling – Sheltisha Bell Of The Ball At Natara JW – Balanced girl both stood and on the move, I wouldn’t want her any bigger. Super head with dark eyes and good ears. Correct neck leading to a good front and also a nicely angulated rear. She moved really well and was presented to perfection, she was toned, well coated and the sweetest of temperaments - BOB

2nd Sorocky – Ch Sheltisha Royal Approval – another super girl with a lovely outline too. Beautiful head and expression. Lovely front assembly too. She moved well and was a show off in the ring and handled well. RBOB

2nd Isherwoods – Starlapps Javri JW – so feminine and so lovely. Such a beautiful head and expression. Loved her outline and on the move she is a delight to watch she just needs to settle to show herself off yet she’s still young and seems to enjoy her time in the ring.

Post Grad

1st Adkin & Pickering - Un Ami Falcor Del Somni Catal To Bouvibear (Imp Deu) NDL JCH – masculine Catalan who has a lovely outline and an eye-catching ring presence. Liked his head proportions and a super temperament to boot. He really drives from the rear on the move.

2nd Hollingworth – Twinan Rising Star At Highlashes JW, like her kennel mate she has a super outline and really can move. Lovely head and expression and a super coat. Unlike her kennel mate she’s a bit mischievous in the ring and would benefit if she concentrated in the job – however her cheekiness made me smile!

Open

1st Mills – Ch Ludas Matyl Aladar (IMP HUN) BEST AVNSC what an impressive Puli whos cords are presented to perfection, however under his coat is a dog in tip top toned condition! Square with the most delightful of heads. On the move he excels – he’s got a super gait, correct and so eye catching too. In the larger group ring he really showed off his fabulous movement.

2nd Hutchcroft – Norcis Algiz – as Aussie Sheps

Junior

1st Hollingworth – Highlashes Hits The Spot JW – as AVNSC

1st Amis & Stanley – Droyales Present Verdandi JW – I’m always drawn to a good shepherd and here was another, masculine without coarseness. Great shape in profile and in super fit condition which showed on the move.

2nd Adkin & Pickering - Un Ami Falcor Del Somni Catal To Bouvibear (Imp Deu) NDL JCH – as AVNSC

Open

1st Blake - Corydon The Grandmaster – and grand he is. Super shapely outline. Sweet expression and balanced head. On the move he’s just so sound and covers the ground effortlessly.

2nd Stevens - Ch Windgunn’s Chaos To Ashvens – such a super GSD from the top drawn. I’ve made no secret that I think he’s one of the best however he needs a big ring to really get him moving and the ring he was in didn’t benefit him as a few strides and he reached the end or the corner – still a super mover though!

Pastoral Group

Group 1 Fieldsend - Ch Honey I’m Home Moravia Campanella At Starwell JW – Briard. I’d judged him earlier in the day and he so benefitted from the extra large ring to show off his super movement!

Group 2 Mills – Ch Ludas Matyl Aladar (IMP HUN) – Puli – in tip top condition and another who just floated around the ring with ease!

Group 3 - Rochelle Maid To Dream – Aussie – super shape both stood and on the move. She never stopped showing!

Group 4 - Benton – Ch Blamorder Double Or Quits Of Oakestelle JW – Smooth who demands attention. She stands foot perfect and moves with ease.
