The Bearded Collie Club of Scotland
OPEN SHOW 25th JUNE 2011
Judge: Bobby Millar ( Beardiewood )
It was a honour to judge the club show, I would like to thank the membership for the chance to do so, I would say in general the breed has improved since the last time I judged in 2008, though some bad faults still exist , a few mouths were not correct, and there were a few with dirty teeth, on a positive note presentation was first class as always and it was also nice to see some new exhibitors coming to the breed, I have noticed that some Breeders are going the extra mile when looking for the correct dog for their litter, and others bringing in stock from abroad, which is a exciting prospect, only time will tell what this can bring to the breed here, I wish them all well.
