Judging: Pastoral Group, Veteran

PASTORAL.

1st : 1217 LUSTY, Miss Abby Ch Blamorder Ice Cream Dream - AV PASTORAL NOT SEPARATELY CLASSIFIED – Collie (smooth). What an absolute beauty. Smooth head with flat skull, clean cheeks and lovely expression of well-placed eyes, down to tapering muzzle with strong jaw and dry lip. She has balance from leg to depth and length of firm back. Alert and has a serenity about her. On the move, she was lithe with easy stride and positive foot fall retaining her shapely outline. Loved her. Res best veteran in show. 
2nd : 623 ROBERTS, Miss M Ch Magical Love Elvikam JW OSW VW (Imp Pol) - AUSTRALIAN SHEPHERD – A well-presented bitch of correct proportion and height. She stands on good legs. Under her profuse quality coat, she is so well-constructed. Has easy gait holding her typical outline. 
3rd : 672 HOLLIS, Mr A Pretty Bear Wild Flower Mit Adjucet - BEARDED COLLIE – Bitch. Has a charm and is true in carriage and foot placement as she gilds round the ring. Nothing overdone and turned out in immaculate order. 
4th : 1228 SANDFORD, Mr Paul & SANDFORD, Mrs Jo Ir Ch Swiss & Int Sh Ch Ger Vet Ch VDH Fato Del Bo - AV IMPORTED REGISTER BREEDS (Pastoral) - Dog Bergamasco. He has power and strength and going over this one you find a really well-made dog. He appealed in head with large well-fitting eye giving a sound confident expression. Worked with his handler well and had a profuse coat. Well-deserved his place.
