"Desmond"
Judges Critique: Jo Hardy, Sandwick Kennels UK - Shetland Sheepdog Club 60th Champ Show

"Super attractive, 2 year old jet back tricolour who instantly caught my eye for his balance and excellent shape in profile. Such a masculine young man who has room to mature through the head in fill but skull is balanced with well shaped eye, flat skull and of good length with level planes. He is just so elegant in profile with pleasing length to well arched neck and construction is hard to fault all through with correctly angulated forehand and rear. Excellent proportions with correct topline and such clean lines with ideal substance for his age and sex. Colour is a true, intense black and so well presented, he simply sparkled in the sunlight. Movement was very true in all directions with good reach in front and positive drive from the rear. My only wish is that he would stand freely and show himself off to full advantage but a lovely male with so many qualities."
