Sweet 6 month old tri baby, well balanced both in head and outline for his age, dark almond eye giving a melting expression, nicely set ears, moderate neck, good front and rear angulation, excellent body, thick, puppy coat of good colour and presentation, moved out freely in all directions and shows much promise.

2. Tipper’s Amalunaque Arcturis Wind At Tiganlea NAF TAF. Another promising tri, slightly older and more forward than 1st, equally good head and eye but ears a bit wide set at present, excellent reach of neck, very good overall conformation, sound, easy mover from side gait, just a bit close going away today, lovely jet black, double coat of excellent presentation, both boys showing very well for their owners despite their tender age and the rising heat of the day.

A really functional, workmanlike Collie of pleasing size, masculinity and overall balance, super balanced head piece, good eye shape and size, well set ears of nice size and, when he uses them, gives off a typical expression, strong reachy neck, good layback of shoulder and return of upper arm, enough chest room, shapely top-line, held well on the stack and on the move, low set and carried tail, good coat that is not excessive in any way and fitted his outline perfectly, maybe a bit heavily marked but his colour is good, excellent mover, really covered the ground well from profile, pleased to award him the DCC and BOB, his 2nd, hope his title isn’t far away, a lovely Collie. 2. Benton/Smith’s Ch. Brooklynson El Dorado. Quite similar in type and function to 1st, an attractive shaded sable of pleasing size and masculinity, liked his head and outlook, darkest of eyes, almond shaped and typical expression, uses his well set and carried ears to best advantage, good conformation and a lovely coat for texture, density and colour, excellent, free mover, handler really get the best from him, another sound, functional Collie that thoroughly deserved the RDCC today. 3.

PB 1(0) 1. Flower’s Serenlas Pumpkin Spice. 10 month old sable, feminine and a pleasing size, very good head piece and uses her ears well to enhance her expression, high set ears, tipped and nice size, good body proportions, sound conformation and good feet, liked her length of leg and just right for coat for her age, moved well from side gait with a nicely carried tail, should have a good future, BPB and BPIB.

LB 7(2) Good class. 1. Tipper’s Tiganlea Twinkling Star. Super coloured blue merle and appealed greatly for her femininity and size, clean long balanced wedge head, excellent eye shape, small well set ears, could have a touch more neck, deep chest, well bodied, good front and a well angled rear, low set tail carried correctly on the move, good bone and feet, in good double coat that was well presented, moved with enthusiasm, reach and drive, close up in the challenge. 2.

Walder’s Ch. Beldones La Vita Bella for Hanvale JW. A really gorgeous sable that can never be overlooked for her superb head, eye and expression, the ultimate showgirl that uses her ears at all times and the overall picture really takes the eye, excellent conformation, balanced angulation front and back, deep chest, mature body with a well fitting quality coat, excellent mover, just loved her, RBCC. 3.
