Powerfully put together in forehand and matched well in is quarters giving him a balanced outline at all times. Well let down in chest and sprung in rib, topline firm and level.

PD 1 Howe’s Lizoni The Drifter 11 month old well constructed tri that has a lot to offer from today’s showing. Good head to handle ears and eyes set well to give the desired expression, strong jawline and full dentition. Ample length of neck into very well laid shoulders and straight front. Well ribbed up for his age, topline is a tad soft when standing but levels on the move where he is sound and precise once he settles into his stride. Yeas he is a tad loose at times but this is purely an age related thing as all is there to build on in the future. BPIB

JD 1 Sewell’s Wynele Strike It Rich to Lewarne JW 13 month old tri with a good future ahead from what he produced today. Scores well in head, ears and eyes give him a sweet expression, wedge shaped and strong in jaw, proportionate in skull to muzzle with just enough stop to be noticeable. Balanced angulation fore and aft with strong muscle toning throughout. His topline is firm and back is level at all times. On the move he is clean and efficient expending no wasted energy whilst covering the maximum amount of ground. Presented in top conditioning from jacket to body toning. BD & BOB Surely one for the future. 2 Seager’s Blamborder Magic Maker with Freejack 13 month old sable again scoring well in head with clean lines and blunted wedge shape. He has a larger framework than winner but is equally as balanced when stacked up. Powerful in front assembly and matched in rear. Ample depth of chest and spring of rib. Topline is a tad soft at this age when stacked. Not so clean in front coming to as winner here today.

OD 1 Wensley’s Constella Hazy Cosmic Jive JW 2 year old tri. Clean head planes with mid eye colour with ears set on and used when alerted. Strong neck of good length into moderate forehand angulation that is a tad open in shoulder. Deep well filled chest. Good spring of rib, topline firm and level on the move. Easy stride pattern but could be better coming to where he seems a bit restricted at times. Might have benefitted with a bigger ring.

JB 1 Holmes, Holmes & Lusty’s Blamborder Makers Mark 13 month old sable. Super head to handle clean strong and proportionate. Mid eye shade, ears used well giving a kind expression. Exceptionally well toned in front assembly and corresponded in hindquarters giving her the ability to cover the ring with fluency and purpose. Well ribbed up and firm in back.

Good length of neck into moderate front assembly for angles and toning. Deep in chest firm in back and defined in quarters. Steady and true on the move at all times. Shown in good jacket.

Strong jawline with clean dentition and scissor bite. Long muscular neck into clean well laid shoulders and straight limbs. Drives well from her defined rear with good ground clearance.

LB 1 Jerrett’s Coldelee Eternal Sunshine JW 19 month old sable. Nothing overdone with this lady just a sound workmanlike Collie that is balanced in outline and clean on the move. Proportionate in head, enough stop, mid eye shade, ears set on and used when called for. Muscular neck into moderate front, straight limbs and compact feet. Holds her topline firm standing and on the move where she is steady and sound at all times.

Sweet expressive head thanks to her dark almond eyes and well set ears. Good length of neck, shoulder is a tad open. Good bone and feet. Muscular hindquarters giving a hard drive going away but not so good coming to.

OB 1 Benton’s CH Brackenhaye Queen Of Hearts of Oakestelle Headed a class of three litter sisters all 3 ½ years old and all tri’s. strong proportionate head without being overdone or losing her feminine appeal. Correct lines and shape, full dentition and strong jawline. Ample length of neck into well laid shoulders and straight limbs supported by compact feet. Well let down in chest and sprung in rib. Holds her topline strong and level at all times. Balanced in quarters allowing a positive driving action and good ground clearance. Well presented. BB 2 Howard’s Brackenhaye Heartbreaker at Shandlmain Much the same remarks for this lady in terms of construction and overall balance. She is very well toned all through and presented in good jacket. Strength in head and again remains feminine in appearance. Front assembly is toned and well angulated to correspond with her rear assembly. On the move she is sound and effortless in profile but not so precise coming to as her littermate. 3 Denton’s CH Brackenhaye Heart And Soul
