DERBYSHIRE COUNTY DOG SHOW
SUN. 24TH. JUNE 2018
ROUGH COLLIES

Puppy (4) 2abs.
1) BROOKER’S CORISIAN FRENCH CONNECTION A stunning golden S/W. of 8 months. Saw this super puppy from the ringside at 6 months, and was not disappointed when going over him. In beautiful coat and condition, and immaculately presented with not a hair out of place. He is a lovely shape and size enhanced by a lovely reach and arch of neck. Very smooth tapering head of just the right length. Very sweet dark obliquely set almond shaped eye, very clean well placed stop and flat back skull, set off with a neatly tipped and placed ear carriage, which he used to advantage, giving him the most melting expression. Good brisket and length of rib cage. Nice front and rear assembly. Level top line, with just enough rise over the loin, into a sweeping croup and tail. Well off for bone, with strong short hocks. He was very attentive to his owner when standing, and moved very true up and back, with drive and extension. BP. BOB. PG.2. & P.PG 1. I watched him later for BPIS. And after a long hot day, was not surprised he had just lost a bit of enthusiasm. One I am sure will have a good future.
2) BARTRAM’S AMBARTR ETERNAL LIGHT S/w. Bitch of nearly 9 months. Well up for size, but still in proportion. In good coat that was well presented. She has a nice length of neck. Not the type of head that i like being rather long with very little stop. Good ear placement which she used well. Showed and moved OK.

Jun. (4) 1abs.
1) BROOKER’S CORISIAN FRENCH CONNECTION
2) SELWYN’S BRECKAMORE BLACK NO SUGAR A very flashy marked tri. Bitch of 13 months. Her jet black coat was in lovely condition and excellently presented. Her body shape and size were just right, with the right length to height ratio when viewed in profile. She has a very balanced head with a round smooth foreface. Just the right amount of stop, with a lovely placed sweet dark eye, and well placed and used ears. Nice reach of neck with good shoulders and rear angulation, finished off with a lovely long tail. Showed and moved well, a very promising youngster.
3) BARTRAM’S AMBARTR KING OF THE RING

Grad. (3) 1abs.
1) COONEY’S JOPIUM DANNY BOY AT LINGWELL Super shaded s/w. young man just out of junior. Lovely make and shape, and very balanced throughout. He has a nice head with a well filled muzzle and no sign of coarseness, good under jaw nice dark almond shaped eye. Well placed stop and flat skull, would just like a bit tighter set and used ears, however this does not distract, and he is still a quality male with a lovely masculine expression. Deep chest and well ribbed. Well bent and let down stifle and strong hocks. In good coat and perfectly presented. Moved true but would just like a bit more drive RBOB.
2) DAVIS’S MOST MAJESTIC VICTORY OF ROSSCHELL (imp HUN.) She is a very pretty and ultra feminine young lady, a light s/w who is very well constructed, and balanced throughout. In full coat which was perfectly groomed. Nice smooth round foreface, her lovely sweet expression comes from her very oblique set dark eyes, and small neatly tipped and used ears. Super reach and arch to her neck. Good front and rear angulation. Moved and showed well for her young handler.

Open (3) 2abs.
1) SKINNER’S NIKAL IT’S GUD TO BE BLACK Stood alone but well deserved his win. Nice upstanding tri. Now in his prime and he has matured well. He has got better each time I have seen him. Nice for size, and all male. In full coat which was very well presented. Nice blunt wedge head with a clean stop and sweet dark eye. Ears a touch wide set but correctly tipped. He has a nice expression. Well boned and constructed with a nice bend of stifle and short strong hocks. Moved well.
