Windsor 29.06.25   Rough Collies

Thank you to the society for the invitation and to the exhibitors for a lovely entry and my stewards for an excellent job. It was a very hot day so for the welfare of the dogs and handlers I didn’t move them as much as I would normally and judged as quickly as possible. Some dogs did suffer from the heat and the uneven ground  which reflected on placings at times.

PD 1 1st Randall’s Ladnar Call My Name  Blue merle of a lovely clear colour. A good size but well proportioned. Nice reach of neck Masculine head with a nice, shaped eye and good expression. Neat feet and good front, firm topline. Did think he would be considered for top honours but wasn’t as settled in the challenge.

JD 3(1) 1st Hawkins & Foy’s Beldones Ivory Star Won this class on his free and effortless movement. A nice sized young dog with a good neck and straight front, balanced body with good angulation. His head is balanced and has a nice eye and expression.
2nd Ross’s Samshernik Majestic Boy Balanced head with a nice eye and good ears. Would like a bit more neck to balance him out. Shown in good condition.

YD 1 1st Spendlow’s Uffspring Undeniable  A blue merle of nice colour. Liked his size, balanced with good angles. Lovely head shape with a super eye and expression the best I’ve seen on a blue merle.

1st Toogood’s Hanvale Ralph Lauren JW  A lovely type of good size. Super reach of neck and a good straight front nice firm topline. Would like a little less weight.
