LONDON & PROVINCIAL COLLIE CLUB
CHAMPIONSHIP SHOW
Sunday 23rd November 2014
Critique Fern Sargeant
Many thanks to the committee for inviting me to judge the Rough Collie Bitches at their Championship Show. It was so well organised and I did like the new venue. I had a lovely entry of quality bitches and great stewards who were so easy to work with.
I look for Movement, Conformation and Type, and was not disappointed, having to split hairs in many cases and my 4 main winners were all athletic, upstanding and attractive members of the breed. I did notice some cow hocks but I think there is an improvement in this problem. General presentation was extremely good.
