His children and grandchildren at home and abroad continue to do very well in the show ring including our new puppy Ladnar Doris Day who has so far won 2 BPIB, BOB, G4, PG3 and RBPIS, all before the tender age of 7 months.To finish Ruby's successful puppy career she pulled out all the stops wo win Best Puppy in Show at Yorkshire Collie Open Shpw.

Crufts Critique 2010 Rough collie dogs.
(20.1) Y. 1 Randall’s Ch Ladnar Kingfisher JW, Have seen him often & although he has always appealed instantly for his overall shape I now realise he has to be handled to be truly appreciated. Blue of the most outstanding colour with the most lovely arched neck & his back is of correct length making him complety balanced in profile. Superb bone & rear angulation along with correct upper arm & well sprung deep chest made him a pleasure to run your hands over. No narrowness or weakness through body. Head was what truly surprised me, smooth well rounded foreface on to correctly placed stop & on to flat skull with well filled backskull, used ears constantly & is a born showman, eyes expressive & he gives handler all he has. Moved around the ring with grace & elegance, covering the ground well with superb topline & very sound rear action. To my great surprise & delight I liked him enough to give him RCC & thank handler for having the confidence in her dog to bring him under me.
