CA Champ Show, 13 October
2nd Junior Dog, Jenny Miller ‘slightly older but still 14 months with a nicely balanced head of good wedge shape and having nice clean lines, well set on ears, eye colour spoils expression hopefully will darken with age. Good stop position and jaw strength. Slightly arched neck could be longer, well set shoulders and a firm level backline to correct rear angulation, well set on and carried tail. Would have liked more depth to his chest, and a stronger front angulation. Body well ribbed back but lacked in body depth and substance and for his age would like more weight. Well presented smooth flat coat, nicely boned legs and compact feet, moved out well with nice sound action.‘

SCCGB Champ Show, 13 October
1st Junior Dog, Janice Cook ‘16 month old Tricolour. Another boy well up in size. His markings making him look tall with long legs. He also needs to drop into his body and fill out. With a wide back skull and low set ears, he lacked the expression of #2, but won this class on his movement.’

1st Special Yearling, Hazel Allsop ‘15 months tri Dog nice in profile nice masculine head good head planes flat skull almond eyes dark in colour. Ears well placed not used as could be.

City of Birmingham Champ Show, 29 August
1st Junior Dog, BJiB Claire Norman ‘Tri dog 14mths. Unfortunately, he was somewhat unsettled and it difficult to access. He has dark eyes, correct bite, he flairs slightly in his back skull. His body shape is good – would prefer less white on his side, he is at a raw state and needs time to develop and his chest to drop.’

NWPB Champ Show, 13 July
2nd Junior Dog, Jacky Cutler ‘Thirteen month old tri, balanced head, would prefer a darker eye, well placed and used ears, good bone, a tad upright in shoulder and going through that rangey teenage stage but covering the ground well.’

Collie Association Open Show 1, 29 June
1st Junior Dog, Mandy Davies ‘A young 1 year old male who stood alone in his class but deserved his 1st place, everything is in proportion and well balanced. He is settling in and learning the ropes of the show ring. He has a wider type head, good front and good bone. Ears are carried well and held to perfection. He moved well once settled.‘

Masculine head of good proportions and planes, very good eye and ear and strong underjaw. He stands true in front on good feet. When gaiting he paced at times but otherwise moved freely with nice length of stride. Best Puppy.’

Luton Open Show, 31 December 2023, Shelley Skinner (Nikal)
1st Puppy ‘6 month Tricolour male, still very raw, but he has a lot of promise, good head and eye, with level planes, still needs to develop in underjaw, fair length of neck leading to well angled shoulders, well sprung ribs, once settled he moved as you would expect at this age, still needs to develop in his rear action as a little loose at the moment, but this will come as he matures.’
