Many thanks to judge Mrs Gwen Hartley.

Following on from his first show and qualification Tedward has continued to do well.

1ST CHANTIQUE SIMPLY SMASHING WITH RUSFORTH

This shaded S/W caught my eye on entering the ring but gave his poor handler a hard time. Eventually got his act together enough to win this class. Dreamy expression coming from correct stop, eye and ear placement. Good length of neck, lay back of shoulder, firm back. Maybe a little more bend of stifle would finish the picture but this didn’t show in his movement. A dog I could happily take home.

Qualifying "Tedward" for Crufts 2010

We were so pleased with 'Ted' at Crufts 2010
1st Mid Limit Dog - thanks to judge Mrs Anne Hollywood
ML (21,1 withdrawn).

Growcott’s Chantique Simply Smashing with Rusforth. A very attractive red sable of lovely type. Well placed stop, gentle eye and expression. His foreface is rounded although just a little more substance would enhance and balance to back skull. Enough bone and neck, and on the move he is sound. Always a showman who never lets his handler down and well presented.

2nd Post Grad Dog, thanks to Judge Mrs E Kitchen.

.....and smashing he is, when he hasn't got girls on the brain! I sympathise with his handler as he is such a lovely dog in all departments, of good size and well balanced all over, lovely head to handle, with an appealing expression, and is sound on the move. Beautifully presented coat of good texture..

London Collie Club CH show -June 2010 - 2nd Mid Limit Dog - Thanks to judge Carolyn Waterhouse

'Elegant deep red sable, who steadily shows off his virtues without making any fuss at all. I find him very pleasing to watch. Enough neck, good front and good length to height ratios. Moves steadily covering the ground well. Nice head type, good stop, dark eye and neat ears. I would like a little more filling in foreface to balance his back skull'

EACA Open October 2010 -RBD/RBOB - Thanks to Judge Joy Walker
2. Ruston & Growcott's Chantique Simply Smashing with Rusforth and simply smashing he is. S/W of different type to 1, but should have a bright future in front of him. Instantly appealed due to his soft expression. Has balanced head of good length, flat skull and neat ears which he knows how to use. Good lay back of shoulder and depth of chest, firm topline, good bend of stifles and well sprung ribcage. Good tail carriage standing and moving. Coat presented in excellent condition,. Handled well and moved out with effortless stride.RBD & RBOB

2011 has got off to a great start with Tedward winning his class, best dog, and BOB at London Collie Club, many thanks to breed specialist Sandy Blackmore [Magenta].

In the meantime his breeder is kindly going to show
him for us.

Update - 'Smudge' was BPIS at his first show - Smooth Collie Club of Great Britain Championship Show September 2011. Thanks to judge Mrs C Cartledge.

Judges critique ' S/W of just 6 months. Happy and cooperative in every way. Delightful character, shapely and well proportioned, used his ears when required, good length of head, well arched neck, clean coat, moved well behind. Needs to settle in front movement. Enthusiastic showman well handled. BP'
