East Anglian Collie Association Championship Show

1st August 2021
Rough Collie Dogs.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the committee for inviting me to judge at their first championship show since lock down and thank them for all their hard work in making this show possible.
EACA has been a favorite show of mine since I took up showing many moons ago. I would also like to thank all the exhibitors for their entries and taking my decision in a good sportsman’s like manor.
Over all I was very impressed with the dogs presented before me. Presentation as a hole was very good although there was the odd one or two that would have benefited from a good bath. Temperaments were good with most of the dogs enjoying their day out.
