Working &Pastoral Breeds Assocation Of Scotland Ch Show
5/11/16

Thank you very much to the committee for inviting me to judge bitches. And grateful thanks to my 2 stewards for doing a wonderful job, after a very long day. And last but not least to the exhibitors for entering under me and waiting such a long time in the cold before we got in the ring.

I was very pleased with my final line up.
One word of caution please do not let flared backsculls become common place in our beautiful breed.

Junior Bitch
1st Ms W & MS A Mcgill & Boys Lynmack Edge Of Glory At Stregato
I have watched this girl from the ringside and was not dissapointed on getting my hands on her. 16 month s/w ultra feminine with a gorgeous shape. Her head is so well balanced with her stop ,eye placement and ears all in the correct position to give a lovely soft expression. Good reach of neck which then leads into a lovely lay back of shoulder, nice deep chest giving plenty of heart room. Her length to height ratio is spot on, she has a lovely bend of stifle and small neat hocks enabling her to move with purpose and drive. Beautifully presented .
2nd Mr S & Mrs J Mcintyre Meryctin Diamond Shimmer
14 month s/w gorgeous head giving a soft melting expression another girl of correct shape and structor. She was a bit unsettled on the move, I think she was fed up with the long wait. Well presented.

Ronansprey Rumour Has It SHCM
3yr old blue merle girl who I have admired for a while. This girl has the most gorgeous shape. Beautiful neck, shoulders well laid back, she has a lovely slight rise over her loin. Well bent stifles with short hocks and correct length of tail. She moved with purpose and drive. Her head is divine for a blue to get the colour shape and head is so difficult. This girl has it all lovely length of head well filled foreface her correct ear placement and soft eyes gives the most melting feminine expression, which just melted me. Her presentation superb.
Best Bitch and on total agreement with my Co judge BOB
She looked superb in the group.

2nd J & M & Mrs J Melvin & Jopson Starlenga All Saints At Nithview
2yr old s/w I love this girl she isn't the biggest but everything is in the right place, she has the most soft feminine expression and her movement is stunning. I just wish she would concentrate a bit more, although the hall was very noisy.

1st Mrs P E Corney Yenroc Fleur Di E'cosse
4yr old shaded s/w beautiful girl who I have judged before. Presented in fabulous condition. She has a lovely head classic head planes that fit the standard, her expression is soft. You can not deny this girl has the most amazing shape with excellent muscle tone and driving movement. In the final line up it was very close decision I just preferred the expression of Rumour Had It.
2nd Mr B & Mrs A Fox Alanita Gaze Away
5yr old golden Sable what a gorgeous girl. Beautiful head and the most soft melting expression. Another girl with a beautiful shape. I think she was fed up with the long wait so didn't move as well as 1st. On another day these girls could easily swap places I loved her.
