Yorkshire Collie Club Open Show, 19 February
1st Post Graduate, Reserve Best Bitch, Richard Kinsey ‘19 month tri female that had by far the best toned body here today, she is as fit as the proverbial butchers dog and would surely be fresh at the end of the day if she was working. Sweet expressive head with dark eyes and full dentition. Good length of neck into clean forehand supported by compact feet. Well let down in chest and sprung in rib. Tad reluctant on the move at times but everything is there to work with. RBB’
