Hitchin and District CS Open show 15th October 2017.
Breed, Rough Collie.
Judge. Mrs Alison Feetham (Lioara)

I would like to start off by saying a big thank you to the committee for inviting me to judge, my stewards for their expertise and those who entered under me. It was a pleasure to judge a breed that I grew up with.

JD/B (1)
1. Benton & Smith. Brookynson El Dorado. Unfortunately he stood alone today this didn't take anything away from him. A lovely 11 month old male, he caught my eye as soon of he entered the ring. Nice head and ear carriage. Nice topline. Moved really well, showed his heart out in the challenge. Also my BPIB and couldn't resit given him RBIB. Pleased to see that he got PG4.

PGD/B (1)
1. Skinner. Samhaven Time Is Money With Nikal. Unfortunately she also stood alone today but again this didn't take anything away from her. A lovely young lady of 3 yrs old. Nice head and ear carriage. Nice topline. Nice coat. Good on the move, I couldn't resist giving her BOB.

OD/B (2)
I found this class a bit difficult to judge as the two dogs presented were quiet different within ages and I'm sure that they could change places on another day.

1. Benton. Brooklynson Jane Russell Of Oakestelle. Nice head and ear carriage. Good topline. Unfortunately today she was lacking in coat but won the class because she covered the ground pretty well on the move.
2. Skinner. Nikal It's Gud To Be Black.
