| Collie Association - May 2016 1st Open Bitch, Best Bitch and Reserve Best in Show Growcott’s Jopium Fascinator, my star of the day! Firstly I must say that this girl has the softest, most appealing expression from wonderful almond, obliquely set eyes. I would describe her as having a ‘true tri colour expression’. Her head is a delight, balanced, moulded & moderate with correct stop, flat skull & is wedge shaped. Her ears are well set & she used them constantly. She has an excellent shoulder & upperarm, good depth of chest & well sprung ribs extending well back. Her rear is muscular and has well bent stifles & short, parallel hocks. She moves well, but was starting to tire in the heat. Her coat is jet black with long featherings & a shawl collar which completed a lovely picture. I couldn’t deny her BB & BOB. Pleased to see she went on to win RBIS Judge - Lesley Chalmers |

Chantique Simply Smashing 1CC |
WECS Open Show April 2009 -
Judge Wendy Hills -
1st Special Yearling Dog - This shaded S/W caught my eye on entering the ring but gave his poor handler a hard time. Eventually got his act together enough to win this class. Dreamy expression coming from correct stop, eye and ear placement. Good length of neck, lay back of shoulder, firm back. Maybe a little more bend of stifle would finish the picture but this didn’t show in his movement. A dog I could happily take home. |
| Crufts 2010 - Judge Anne Hollywood 1st Mid Limit Dog - Growcott’s Chantique Simply Smashing with Rusforth. A very attractive red sable of lovely type. Well placed stop, gentle eye and expression. His foreface is rounded although just a little more substance would enhance and balance to back skull. Enough bone and neck, and on the move he is sound. Always a showman who never lets his handler down and well presented. |
May 2010 - Working and Pastoral Breeds of Wales - Judge Mrs E Kitchen .......and smashing he is, when he hasn't got girls on the brain!

Beautifully presented coat of good texture.... |

I would like a little more filling in foreface to balance his back skull'. |
| October 2010 - EACA Open Show - Judge Joy Walker - Chantique Simply Smashing with Rusforth and simply smashing he is. S/W of different type to 1, but should have a bright future in front of him.
