Smooth collies are pastoral. however there is a separate class for one representative of each vulnerable breed (i.e. less than 300 pups registered in a year).
Oh my, I really should have known the pastoral bit! Sorry.

Well! Flat coat should have taken that.
Pretty shocked actually.

My sister is showing her Italian Spinone today, so I will be watching with interest later
Satinbaze - Say Hi to Gemma. She'll be showing my boy's Dad - Hugo Boss in the Open on Saturday. I have two of his son's. Good luck!
Long haired pointer looks like a springer. Never heard of that variety.
American cocker won?! What the heck could that retrieve?! A bloody sparrow?! Massive boo. The feather is ridiculous. Looking at one of my springers motorbiking round the woods today, how on earth does an American cocker compare? It's a lapdog.
congrats to your sister
I always thought that too, as not a fan of ACS, however the trainer I use for gundog work also trains some ACS, I met them once, the day after they had been showing, all covered in burrs and muck, very happy little dogs who can actually be trained to retrieve smaller birds. Full credit to their owner for encouraging them to work.
Ok I'm going to shock you all. That is NOT a typical flatcoat. He is very flashy but not a true workman like dog a flatcoat should be. You probably cannot tell on the TV but he is huge I suspect about 4 inches taller than breed standard. Sorry but I really don't like him. Now ducking for cover
Very interesting. I don't know much about the breed but thought he looked great in the ring - not as a working dog, but as a show dog. Would his flashiness in the ring have made him stand out from the crowd?
I will be watching the BOB GSD with interest later, after the backlash last year and the new rules for the breed in place this year.
