SHETLAND SHEEPDOG

Judge(s): Mr E J Robinson (D) Mrs F A Somerfield (B)

Mr. E.J. Robinson :
I enjoyed the opportunity to judge at this prestigious event. The entry was mixed but I had some lovely quality dogs to
go over. Some entrants were well up to size & had to pay the penalty. The PD class had some very promising
youngsters which augers well for the breed & the OD class was a delight to judge.

Mrs. F.A. Somerfield:
It was a great thrill to judge this excellent, high quality entry. I enjoyed it from the moment I saw the lovely merle puppy
which was first in line in the first class ( she ended up BPB) until the very last vetera. My best three classes were
puppy, limit & open. I could not want for a nicer co-judge than Mr Robinson so, much though I liked my BCC & BPB,
I was happy to concede to his two very good dogs. It seems churlish to mention faults after a day like this but I could
not help noticing the missing premolars - Shetlands used to be a breed which scored in this direction.

I was delighted to hear that her CC made her a champion."
