Championship Show: 22nd November 2015
Rough Collie: Bitches
I would like to the thank the Committee and all the exhibitors for making my first time judging a Championship Show so very special, the show was very well organised. I also thought in general the quality of the dogs was very good. I was very pleased with the younger classes, the quality of these bitches can only be very good for the future of the breed.
