Smooth Collie of the Year 2019

First of all I would like to thank the committee for giving me the opportunity to officiate as the all rounder at this prestigious event. I enjoyed my day enormously with your lovely dogs & was most impressed by some of the exhibits present on the day.

I felt that the show was very well organised with a great atmosphere amongst all the exhibitors. How very lucky we all were with the Weather God liking the breed too and giving us all a gloriously warm and sunny day.

The fair sized rings were big enough to assess all the dogs easily and give them a chance to move at a good speed.I was very happy that my co judges & I agreed unanimously in the lovely Veteran bitch Ch. Clingstones Hot Shot At Foxearth being the Smooth Collie of the Year. She has so much breed type and quality and her correct body weight for a ‘working’ dog and her sound movement just added to her overall pretty picture.

The day finished on a high by sitting down afterwards for a great lunch with all the exhibitors and the committee. Well done on organising such a great day & Thank you again.
