Our first Rough Collie was a tricolour called Sheena, bought in 1976 as a pet.

In 1978 we had the opportunity to purchase Rickwood Bobby Socks from the Lawsons, a natural in the ring and a winner of many BOB's
continuing through to veteran classes at Open and Club show level. Reah was mated to Jeffield Esquire and gave us our next bitch a tricolour.


Rickwood Bobby Socks

In 1989 we purchased a tricolour from the Evad kennels, she was a daughter of the lovely Ch Matai Don Quixote, not shown extensively she
was mated in 1993 to Ch Abbeywater Faberge and from this litter we kept a dog Magenta Mastermind, who by the age of two had collected 2
C.C's, his first with BOB from Mrs D Clarke [Lynway] aged just 12 months. A year later he gained a 2nd CC from Mrs P Parry. He was my
heartache dog as he then decided he didn't like showing so he retired to the sofa.

In 2000 we purchased Samhaven Suncharm over Magenta from Alison Grainger who charms everyone she meets.

She had two litters firstly to Mastermind and we kept Magenta Marmalade and Magenta Mysteria.

WECS Judges Critique - Blackmore's Magenta Monet - A lovely quality upstanding male in top form today. Super coat and condition, presented to perfection. Lovely overall body shape with good angulations front and rear. Plenty of bone and substance which I do like to see on a male. Good depth of chest, nice topline with slight rise over the loins. Head handles very well, balanced with correct stop, lovely moulded muzzle, gorgeous eye and expression. Correctly placed ears which he used very well. Moved very true and with drive.

Midland Collie Ch.Show Judges Critique - Magenta Monet - I have not seen this dog since a puppy, has grown into a lovely mature male. Very pleasing outline, good length of neck and height to length ratio. Clean wedge head, correct stop, dark almond eye giving desired expression, lovely moulding to muzzle and good underjaw. A little reluctant to show off his ears but well set. Firm level topline, raise over loin, good bend of stifle, short upright hocks, neat feet, well off for bone in a good well presented harsh coat. This dog is so sound in his movement, good reach in front, and lovely drive from rear, not just because he is well constructed but has very good muscletone giving him his sound movement. RCC

**************Congratulations to everyone concerned...especially Pixie on making up Whisper, to Ch Treeview Love to Trenley sired by [Teddy] Magenta Simply Wicked at Yslann*********
