28th March 2015 Scottish Breeds
At our next show, were Russel, CH Potterdale Platinum Plus impressed Tina Cantand won the Dog CC. We were thrilled of here critique:

I liked him as soon as I saw him in the line up, and when he moved I was not disappointed. His type and shape took me back 25 years (gave me goose bumps!), his head and expression spoke to my heart of true beardie type, his proportions, size, substance, angulation and spring of rib all combined to shape a dog that fits my ideal beardie type. His movement was effortless and smooth, precise and true coming and going, no plaiting or toeing out from this boy, his top-line held firm, his pace measured and unhurried. Still a young dog at just over 2yrs, reflected in his as yet unfinished coat, which held him back from BOB.

3rd July Windsor

Russell, CH Potterdale Platinum Plus was thrilled to win a huge Open Dog Class at Windsor followed by the CC and stunning critique:
I would say gold & diamonds as well, what a beautiful dog. His quality shines out not only in his construction but in his excellent coat & show condition, not an ounce of flab, so well muscled throughout. Excellent front, deep chest & well sprung ribs, excellent neck & shoulders with good lay back & correct upper arm. Broad flat skull, expression to die for under well arched brow (something missing a lot these days) good length of muzzle & well defined underjaw. He is so well balanced & this shows on the move where he covered the ground with easy gait with little effort. I was honoured to award him the CC.

Sincere thanks to judge Stella Clark.

He then followed this by winning Pastoral Group 1 under Tegwyn Jones. We returned to the show to compete in the finals on Sunday and were thrilled to win Reserve Best in Show under Stuart Plane. Thanks Albert for this lovely critique: one of the best I have seen from this world famous affix for some time. I think he is a top class example of the breed, I love his head & expression, length/height proportions must just about be spot on, coat & body impeccable & he moved around the ring with a light, ground covering stride. It was a delight to watch him with the group & then to learn on my return home that he had won RBIS. Congratulations Potterdale.
