- [Champ 2022 Smooth Collie Critique](https://westofenglandcolliesociety.org/champ-2022-smooth-collie-critique/): A huge thanks to WECS for the invitation to judge at this friendly, well run show, and thanks to the Smooth community who honoured me with a fantastic entry of 40. I so enjoyed judging your dogs. A few general observations if I may: tails – most tails only just reached to the hock joint – breeders must watch this. Front angulation continues to be a problem with lack of shoulder angulation across all age groups prevalent and therefore affecting front movement. Eyes – too many eyes are round and large – I do weigh this up with the rest […]

The venue was beautifully set up with carpeted rings and there was a lovely friendly atmosphere all round. The overall entry I judged was very much to my liking and mostly well presented with gleaming coats so they were obviously well looked after..

West of England gave me my first Breed Club Open Show appointment, so I was more than pleased to be given the opportunity to judge for them with my first CC appointment. It was an extremely hot day, so judging was held inside. Although, generally, smooth collies cope brilliantly with most floors, this one proved a challenge. Even I felt myself go a couple of times. It didn’t do some of them any favours with feet, and taking corners was difficult, saying this they all coped admirably. […]

A friendly and welcoming committee made for a relaxed atmosphere which prevailed throughout the day. My numerical entry was excellent but slightly marred by absentees not unexpected probably due to the warm weather we have been experiencing and the young males are probably ‘changing their clothes’ not the best time of year for collie coats!

My stewards were very hard working throughout the day making sure we somehow managed not to loose anything in the strong winds.

- [WECS Collie Health 2010](https://westofenglandcolliesociety.org/collie-health/wecs-collie-health-2010/): There are some interesting new items to report since the last RoundUp.I realise not everyone is “into” health issues, thinking the information is too technical, or given too much importance, especially with regard to MDR I. But as Health Coordinator for WECS, I am obliged to report any new developments for interested breeders.One of the main concerns regarding testing has been the cost involved, so some good news to start with ….. Until now Laboklin has been the only laboratory recognised by the KC for MDR1 testing, and Optigen the only laboratory offering DNA testing for CEA and PRA (and […]
- [Darwin on Inbreeding](https://westofenglandcolliesociety.org/collie-health/darwin-on-inbreeding/): Darwin’s start in life was not promising. He showed no interest in following his father’s profession of medicine and no aptitude for any of the professions open to a gentleman. His father wrote to him in despair. “You care for nothing but dogs, shooting and rat catching. You will bring nothing but shame and disgrace upon yourself and your family.” Even so he sent his son to Cambridge, from where Darwin emerged three years later with a degree. Ignoring his father’s disapproval, Darwin immediately signed on the sailing ship Beagle as a collator of fossils, flora and fauna, a study […]
- [The Ten Commandments](https://westofenglandcolliesociety.org/collie-health/the-ten-commandments/): Membership of the Kennel Club’s Accredited Breeding Scheme was open to all breeders of Kennel Club registered dogs, irrespective of whether they have bred one litter or fifty. Breeders who applied to join the scheme agreed to fulfil the following requirements. In addition to these ten requirements. Accredited Breeders were also encouraged to follow a number of recommendations: They should ensure their breeding and whelping facilities accord with good practice; follow any breed-specific recommendations where possible; encourage new owners to take their puppy to the vet as soon as possible; commit to help, when necessary, with the re-homing of a […]
- [Collie Health](https://westofenglandcolliesociety.org/collie-health/): The West of England Collie Society has always taken a keen interest in health matters, for many years holding an annual eye testing session in conjunction with one of its shows, whilst the ‘Round Up’, edited by Mrs Hazel Hunt, which became freely available to all members in 1979, has, over the years, highlighted many topics of interest to the exhibitor/breeder. MDR1 Many herding breed dogs (the most commonly affected in the UK are: all breeds of Collie, Shetland Sheepdog, GSD and, Australian Shepherd dogs – including cross breeds) have a genetic predisposition to adverse drug reactions involving over a […]

- [Our History](https://westofenglandcolliesociety.org/our-history/): It seems impossible to believe that over 60 years have passed since I saw a notice in the dog papers of an inaugural meeting of the proposed “Bristol Collie Club”. I was surprised when I entered the little back room of the Railway Hotel to find some fifteen or sixteen people assembled there. Some of them had travelled long distances to get there, others unable to make it in those days of difficult travel, had written letters of support. It was agreed there and then to try and form a Club to be named the Bristol Collie Club and seek […]
