Open Show – 2nd November 2025

Collie (Rough)

PD/B (2,0)

1. Williams’ Mejola Some Girls Do. Two pleasing pups competed here. This 7 mth old sable bitch was my winner. Balanced in outline with well arched neck, firm through the topline, good depth to chest, ribbing carried well back and tail pleased for length, set and carriage. Feminine, well proportioned head with good planes, correct stop, clean through the cheeks, excellent eye, good ears, strength to underjaw and scissor bite. Pleasing angles front and rear and she stands on correct feet. Moving pretty well all through. Best Puppy.

2. Williams’ Mejola Edge of Glory. 7 mth old sable bitch who I see shares the same sire as the winner. She is heavier all through then 1 and of pleasing type. Nicely arched neck, firm topline, ribbing developing well for age, correct croup and tail of correct carriage. Balanced headpiece with parallel planes, lean cheeks, almond-shaped eyes of correct set although smaller, good dentition but felt winner had the edge in underjaw. Standing on good feet and moves well on the go around but 1 scored on the down and back.

PGD/B (6,2)

1. Williams’ Mejola Endeavour. Rather varied class which saw this 7 mth old sable dog come out on top. He appealed for type and presented a nicely balanced outline. Excellent neck, firm topline, good depth to chest, ribbing carried well back and tail of good length and of pleasing carriage. Head of good proportions with flat skull, correct stop, parallel planes, clean through the cheeks, eyes of good size and placement in the skull but a little smaller, good ears and correct dentition. He moves well when viewed in profile but needs to tighten in front.

2. Jackson’s Chantique Tickety Boo. 2 yr old sable bitch. This girl wasn’t using her ears most of the time which didn’t help her cause but she is a pleasing type. Pretty good neck, firm in topline, pleasing rib and tail of good length and carriage. Feminine headpiece with good proportions, fair stop, very good eyes for shape, colour and set, clean cheeks and scissor bite. Standing on correct feet for the breed and moving pretty well on the go around.

3. Allsopp’s Aqualita Majestic

OD/B (4,1)

1. Williams’ Ch Mejola Main Event JW. 4 yr old sable bitch. In between coats but for me she was the best overall package on the day. She pleased for overall type and presented a nicely balanced outline with well arched neck of correct length, firm topline, excellent ribbing and tail of good length and carriage. Quality head with sweet expression; flat skull, slight stop, muzzle proportionate in length to that of skull, excellent eye and ear, good underjaw and dentition. Pleasing angles front and rear and standing on correct oval feet. Goes well on the go around and scored for overall action here today. BOB.

2. Allsopp’s Aqualita It’s a Miracle. 6 yr old tricolour dog who I have done well for before. All male, he presented a well balanced outline with muscular, well arched neck, firm backline, good depth to brisket, pleasing rib and good tail for length, set and carriage. Balanced headpiece with good planes, a tad more stop then the winner, very nice eye and ear, lean through the cheeks, good underjaw and dentition. When gaiting, he has a pretty good length of stride but couldn’t quite match down and back action of winner today. Good quality coat. Reserve BOB.
