Rough Collie

Junior (6,5)
1st Vogan’s Lenosann Wildest Dreams. 9 month old sable and white bitch nice head, good fill of muzzle and enough backskull. Could do with a bit more stop which affected her eye placement. Her eye is dark and a good shape . Strong, well arched neck, into good shoulders, a good return of upper arm. straight, well covered leg, feet ok. Lovely length of body, good coat. Rear strong enough for her age. BP PG2.
2nd Beardsworth’s Wicani Dulcibella Gyda Maysinder, nine month old blue merle, promising puppy. Many of the same comments apply. however I preferred the eye shape on the winner, this bitch is a bit round in eye which spoilt her expression, she is also a touch narrow but she is young and time is on her side.

Post Graduate (1,0)
1st Garside’s Jessopdays it’s now or never., four yr old sable bitch. Nice type, good bone, good eye but could be darker. She is a good shape. a little narrow all through  rear could be stronger and a little close behind.

1st Beardsworth Maysinder Sapphire Reign. Blue merle bitch I've judged before, absolutely love her. She's got a beautiful type, lovely head, good length of skull, well rounded fore face and flat backskull. Good neck in to well placed shoulders. Well covered, strong bone. Fitted coat, beautiful dark eye, moves very well. Love her type. BOB G3.
2nd Garside’s Demelewis Gang Leader. 5yr old sable male, happy boy and a lovely type, good eye, good coat, moves well, head, handles well with filled muzzle and enough backskull. Good dark eye, good ears. Preferred the length of the winner. He could have done with a bit more loin.
