ROUGH COLLIES

P (1/0)
1 st – Bartrams Ambartr’s Scarlet Sky’s, 8 month old sable & white bitch, who has got a lot of
growing up to do, head is still to develop and clean, she has a good reach of neck, and well laid shoulders, a little narrow through in body, level topline, coat still needs to come through fully as she is lacking some undercoat, moved well enough, she just needs time to mature, I was pleased to award her BP.
J (1/0)
1 st – Hansons Jards Cudmirrah Special, 12 months tricolour butch, with a sweet expression and correct head planes, flat skull, well set ears, which she used to her advantage, good length of neck. Leading to well laid shoulders, good length of back, coat of correct colour and well presented, well bent stifles and parallel hocks, tail of the correct length and carried well, moved with ease, just lost out on top honours today on maturity.
PG (7/4)
1 st – Farthings Didek Once in a Blue Moon, 3 year old blue merle dog, super head, flat skull, correct stop and length to muzzle, eyes of correct colour, ears well set, giving a fabulous expression when he decided to use them, neck of good length, leading to well laid shoulders, deep chest and well sprung ribs, strong hocks, coat of good clear colour and presented well, tail carriage could have been better, but he seemed to have his mind on other things today, and wasn’t giving it his all, moved well. He is a lovely dog, thank you for
bringing him.
2 nd – Bartrams Ambartr’s Dignity and Pride JW, 2 year old able and white bitch who I’ve judged previously and similar comments still apply, good head, flat skull, eyes of correct shape and colour, well set ears which she used all the time, good length of neck, well laid shoulders, good length of tail, presented in good coat and condition, very attentive to her handler, moved with ease. I just preferred the head and expression of the winner, lovely girl, thank you for bringing her.
3 rd – Abletts Siluto Misteriously Blue.

O (7/2)
The toughest class of the day, with some super entries.
1 st – Allsopps Aqualita It’s a Miracle, masculine tricolour dog, who is almost a veteran, and has got better with age, another which I have judged previously and my opinion hasn’t changed, head of correct proportions, flat skull, slight stop, well filled muzzle, ears set on well giving the desired expression when he chose to use them, to be critical I would prefer slightly more length of neck, good well laid shoulders, deep chest, well sprung ribs, good length of back and tail, coat of good colour with rich tan markings and presented in tip top condition, moved with plenty of reach and drive. I was pleased to award him BOB and to see him shortlisted in the BIS line up (as show not judged on group system). I wish he was mine and thank you for bringing him.
2 nd – Howards GIB CH Serenlas Angel of Casatentola, 4 years old tricolour bitch, another quality exhibit, feminine head and sweet expression, flat skull, slight stop, ears well set and used non stop, good length of neck, well laid shoulders, good length of back and a level topline, well bent stifles and strong hocks, tail of correct length and carried well, presented in superb coat and condition, moved extremely well with reach and drive, I was pleased to award her RBOB, another who I wish was mine, she is a delight.
