Dolly

3x BoB, 1x CC, 2 x BPiB, 1 x Puppy Group 3

Dolly was born in July 2019, one of a litter of six tricolour & blue merle puppies from our Clara. Her sire is Ch Breckamore By Design, the beautiful Harry, owned by Ann French and we are very pleased that she let us use him. Dolly is owned by Andrea and has settled in well with her Smooth Fox Terriers.  She loves meeting up with her brother, Archie, who lives close by.

SCCGB Open Show 1, 20 April
2nd LB, Sue Beare ‘6 year old tricolour with a most attractive head. Attentive expression and ears well placed. Height to length ratio was good and gives elegant appearance with decent angulation. On the move she was not as balanced as the winner and her topline was a tad loose.

Crufts Champ Show, 09 March

Needs to firm up in topline. Well set tail. Angulation balanced fore and aft. Moved well going away, but needs to tighten in front.

Scottish Breeds Champ Show, 30 September
Res LB, Stuart Hall

Darlington Champ Show, 17 September
2nd LB, Frank Kane ‘3 year old tri – similar in type and size, good head planes but I preferred ear set and expression of the winner, balanced with good proportions, her feet and pasterns could be stronger, evident in her front movement.’

Yorkshire Collie Champ Show (no CCs), 04 September
2nd PG, Bill Rogerson ‘A lovely 3 year old tri-colour bitch that unfortunately wouldn’t let me handle her. She had nice dark eyes that gave her that sweet expression with good ear carriage.

SCCGB Open Show (2), 14 May
2nd PGB, Abby Lusty ‘2yrs old. More compact bitch than 1, wish she was a touch longer in loin. Feminine head with well placed eye and ears used to advantage giving the desired expression. Good front with decent fore chest. Her construction suggested she would move well however in reality she made a mess of it. She didn’t seem to settle and Heart and Soul’s sound gait could not be denied. I hope to see her settle on another day.’

SCCGB Open Show (1), 14 May
1st PGB, Brian Hull

Birmingham National Champ Show, 08 May

2nd PGB, Trevor Hayward ‘Tricolour, nice type, head, lovely sweet eye, neat ears, good conformation, moved well.’

British Collie Club Champ Show (1), 05 March
1st PGB, Sandra Wigglesworth ‘I loved her outline as she stands and shows, she has a good head profile with parallel planes, she has a good flat skull, sweet eye and expression and good ears, unfortunately the same heavy flews without a lipline, which seems to have crept into the breed, good depth and spring of rib, good turn of stifle, moved well and well handled.’

Lichfield Open Show, 29 January
1st PG, BoB, Graham Hill ‘A well constructed two and a half year old who has a mature, finished appearance. Attractive in head and expression. True in front, nicely bodied and moderately angled firm hindquarters. Moved with a positive true action. Best of Breed.’

Yorkshire Collie Club Open Show
3rd Puppy, Amy Kinsey ‘ 7 months old, tri bitch. This bitch has a lot to offer but a little raw at present. Lovely shape overall, with a sweet head and alert expression with ears used at all times. Good dark eye, obliquely set with level plains, and clean throughout.  Front needs to tighten a little due to age but rear angulation and lovely tight feet made her move extremely well once settled.  Arched neck and lovely long tail which wagged non-stop. Look forward to seeing this one mature over time (BPB).’

Lichfield Open Show, January
1st Puppy, BPIB, Kathie Kinton ‘ Litter brother & sister who I am sure will change places many times throughout their showing career, little to split the two but 1st a bit more settled therefore moved better… Tri bitch just 6 months old front angulation good.
