Yorkshire Collie Club. 7th September 2025
Rough Collie Bitches
I would like to thank the committee for inviting me to judge bitches at their Championship Show. I also want to thank the exhibitors for entering under me, I was presented with a quality entry it was a pleasure to judge your dogs. Without doubt I could have given out multiple CCs and not just to class winners. The outdoor ring was of good size but not very even, so I made allowance.
After judging the dog CC, I would like to mention it was pleasing to see a quality masculine male of good size and shape who was an excellent mover.
Alongside my co judge Hannah Walder we appreciated the quality of both CC winners so agreed to call on the BIS judge Geoff Duffield to decide on BOB.
