Smooth Collies

Sp. Yearling Dog (3.0)
1st. Beeney’s Coneypark Black Sabbath. 8mths tri dog. Lovely masculine boy. Head handles well, good parallel lines, clean stop, flat scull, still needs to clean in cheeks, topped off with a lovely soft expression. Well set ears. Good lay back of shoulder, good spring and depth of rib. Lovely topline, nice long tail. A little loose on the move but should strengthen with time. Just hope his colour clears out. B.D & BP.I.B
2nd. Denton’s Brackenhaye Fields of Gold. SW 13mths old. Another quality dog, similar remarks apply.  Both should have a bright future. R.B.D.
3rd. Moores’ Manordeifi Bow Regard.

Limit Dog (1.0)
1st. Kinsey’s Stuartmoor Khaos of Kaswyn. Nice SW dog, lighter framed than 1 & 2 in previous class. Has good shoulder and front, but needs to drop a bit more in chest. Good bend of stifle. Nice length of tail. Very happy boy, enjoying his day out.

Open. (2abs).
Vet. Dog or Bitch (2.1)
1st. Coates’ Alopex Blue Moon. BM bitch of 8yrs. Very feminine. Clean head with good stop. Soft expression. Long neck. Shoulders well laid back. Balanced angulation. Moved well.

Sp Yearling Bitch. (3.2)
1st Denton’s Brakenhaye Shape ‘o’ my heart. 13mths old tri. Full of herself today which affected her movement. That said, she is well constructed with a jet black coat. Another who must have a bright future.

Limit Bitch. (4.0)
1st Beeney’s  Ryecombe Jolly Jonquil at Coneypark. I have done this SW bitch well in the past. Now fully mature. Pretty head, correct wedge with slight stop. Lovely neck flowing into good shoulders, firm topline, good angulation in the rear. All enabling her to move sound. Res B B.
2nd Moores’ Tomalca Buttons ‘n’ Bows at Manordeifi. Pretty SW bitch. Her markings do her no favours, making her appear upright and open in shoulder, which she certainly is not. Well angulated fore and aft. She moves out well. Would just benefit from more muscle tone but was not alone in this today.
3rd Coates’ Seanua Scotch Mist.

Open Bitch (3.2)
1st Denton’s CH. Kevrannas Theras Enate Echo. Fabulous Shaded Sable bitch, who’s every inch the champion she is. Loving her day out today (lovely cuddles) Once settled she moved round the ring with drive, keeping her topline, a dream to watch. B.O.B & res B.I.S .
