COLLIE (ROUGH)
Puppy (1) 1. Whitaker’s Siluto Over The Blue Moon. Raw 6 ½ mth b/m b. Happy and promising pup with sweet temperament. A bit leggy at present and will need some time to mature. Coat of correct texture but colour still needs to clear. Sweet head and expression with correct ear carriage, excellent reach of neck and angulation. Moved quite well, with level back and correct tail carriage but needs to tighten at the rear - this should come with correct exercise and maturity. BP/PG2.
Jun (2) 1. Whitaker’s Siluto Misterious Girl. Promising tri litter sister to Puppy winner, with similar attributes although this girl is presently shorter on the leg than her sister. She excels in neck and angulation and is a trifle stronger in head than sister. Moved quite well though needs to tighten at the rear. 2. Cook & Watkins’ Whatacoo Blaze Of Glory. 1 yr old b/m b, developing along the right lines. Well merled coat of clear colour, sufficient angulation fore and aft, fair bend of stifle, ample depth of chest and spring of rib. Head well balanced though cheeks need to fill out as yet to improve expression. Moved OK though tail a little high.
Grad (1, 1ab)
PG (2,1) 1. White’s Mejola Dangerous Liaison. Upstanding and elegant 2yr old b/m d in great coat and condition with good depth of chest, spring of rib and reach of neck. Stood with dignity showing off his balanced shape. Clean wedge head with flat skull, sufficient stop and underjaw, and correct ear carriage. To be critical, his eyes, although dark and obliquely set, are a tad on the small side. He covered the ground freely and with good drive and extension, holding his topline level and tail low. Will watch his career with interest and pleased to award him BOB/Gp4.
Limit (1) 1. Whitaker’s Aniesh Misty Blue Moon Of Siluto. B/m dam of puppy and junior winners. Well balanced b of correct height/length ratio and in good coat of correct harsh texture. She has a fair reach of neck, good length of rib cage and angulation though tends to stand with hind legs underneath her which detracts from her overall shape. Head of correct proportions with flat skull, good muzzle and underjaw, and correct ear carriage giving sweet expression. Moved quite freely but would prefer more drive from the rear.
Open (5,2) 1. Cook & Watkins’ Aniesh Forever Blue With Whatacoo. Elegant b/m b in good body-fitting jacket of correct texture, with sufficient bone and substance and good reach of neck. Head handled well with sweet expression and her sweeter eye and more correct ear carriage gave her the edge over 2. Moved freely. RBOB.
2. White’s Corydon Femme Fatale For Mejola JW. Heavily coated tri b in super bloom. Well constructed b with super bone and substance, good angulation, well turned stifles and neat feet. Head handled well but not quite the expression of 1 as her ears tend to break too low. She covered the ground well, with drive. 3. Whitaker’s Jopium Magical Dream |
