Midland Collie Club Ch Show
February 2023
Rough Collie Bitches

Firstly I would like to thank the Midland Collie committee for giving me the opportunity to judge bitches at the Ch show. Thank you also to my stewards Shelley and Gwen for keeping everything in order and to all the exhibitors for their entries.

I do have some concerns of what is happening to our lovely breed many seem to be lacking length of back, balanced head and correct ear placement. Weak hindquarters/movement was also a concern. 

Presentation on the whole was good but please remember there is more than just the top coat that needs grooming and some had too much substances left in coat resulting in a sticky/tacky feeling.
