OF ENGLAND BEARDED COLLIE CLUB
North
Of England Bearded Collie Club open show May 3rd 2009
.
Always An Honour to judge a Club Show, even more so for an outsider!
This is a breed I've been judging for 30 plus years. a good entry of
(64) dogs (50) present on the day! As always with judging any working-
Pastoral breed I do Keep in my mind could the exibit do the job it was
bred to do?. I think every one of those in my unbeaten line-up in both
sexes could do just that! I was happy with the quality on view,presentation
and sportmanship was first class. This was an excellent club show ,so
friendly and well organised,well done to ALL concerned.
