MIDLAND COLLIE CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP SHOW
10/02/2018

It was a great pleasure for me to come and judge the bitches at the Midlands on the 10th February2018. I would like to sincerely thank the President and all of his committee for putting their trust and confidence in me. A big thank you, also, to my 2 ring secretarys, who were extremely efficient.

I can say that I saw a great diversity of types, which testifies to the real possibility for everyone to lean towards the type of colley they like the best.

I also noticed that certain bitches had narrow chests, ears that were too heavy or started too low or were half way down on the head which can be detrimental to their expression.

A special mention to all winners of their class and felicitations to those who won their BPIS, -RCC, CC and also  to the winner of the veteran class.

I spent an excellent day with everyone and I would like to thank all who participated for their fair play and the excellent presentation of the bitches presented to me

I wish you all well with your dear Collies.

Yours amicably
Christophe Dancoisne.
