National Working and Pastoral Breeds
Rough Collies 2024
Many thanks to the Committee for the Invitation to award CCs for the first time and the Exhibitors for their lovely entries. Thanks to my Superb Steward Donald for his efficient work. Lovely to watch Best Puppy shortlisted to the last ten in Pastoral Puppy Group. I found exhibits well presented in jackets, some changing coats, please note if using products remove before being exhibited as found a few with things still in their coats which I could feel on my hands. Really pleased with both line ups, bitches being stronger in overall quality than males generally at the moment and all colours represented in both sexes.
