ROUGH COLLIE DOGS

Minor Puppy Dog 3 (1ab)
1st  Boyle's BARRENCLOUGH MOON MAGIC
S/W Pleasing clean head, correct eye.good ear carriage. Good reach of neck and depth and length of body. Nicely boned . Presented in good coat but more effort could be put in when it comes to grooming.
2nd Scott's WHATACOO THE ONE AND ONLY
Tricolour who has a lot to do. His owner has trained him well for the ring and should be congratulated on that. However  i found him rather flat  in body and rather feminine for a male.

PUPPY DOG 4

This exhibitor showed a few collies for me today and i have to mention that all we very well presented and clean. A lot of work and it was appreciated.

Moves and presents himself well.

POST GRADUATE 10 (4)
1st Gregory & McLarty's PHREELANCER PHORTUNES LEAP
The overall picture is a very well balanced collie. Correct clean headed dog with good muzzle and correctly  placed stop. Flat in skull and good ear carriage. Covers the ground well. Very well presented in good condition. One would prefer a better eye shape but his virtues out weighed this. Hence the placing.

LIMIT DOG 9 (1)
1st White's MEJOLA FATE AND FORTUNE
Upstanding blue merle who is so well balanced in conformation. Good reach of neck and well balanced both standing and on the move. Clean head with no coarseness but would prefer a more definate stop which for me would have completed the picture. It would not surprise me if this dog goes on to win his title, he has the attributes in conformation to do so.
2nd Blake's CORYDON TRUMPS THE LOT
The watch word for this kennel has alwas been conformation and this lad does not disappoint in anyway regarding that. Sable and white who covers the ground with ease. If only his head had the qualities of some of his predessesors he would have trumped the lot.
