Incredible and unique result! A dream came true!
To achieve the ENGLISH CHAMPION title is quite difficult for everybody, but this time our Hungarian-bred collie did it in the hands of Carolyne Waterhouse.
Jethro achieved the needed 3 CC titles and always added the BEST OF BREED and BEST IN SHOW also from English specialist judges only on Special Club and Championship Shows. To say we are very proud is a real understatement. We are beyond happy and think this success is the result of 20 years had breeding work with many ups and downs. Jethro wrote a history and now proud father of many new hopes in England.
His co-owner and best friend: Carolyne Waterhouse, Lynmead kennel (UK)

Sable boy with a lovely wedge head, flat skull, lovely dark almond eyes, correct ear placement which were well used, rounded muzzle all combined to give the most melting expression. Lovely reach of neck going into well laid back shoulders. Good length of back, well sprung ribs and slight rise over loin. Moved with drive keeping a level topline, all put together made a stunning picture. Dog CC, BOB, BIS.

A dog I have until today not set hands on and I was not disappointed. For me standing presents a lovely picture, showing off all his virtues. Not a big dog but he is so well balanced throughout. Head is so very well moulded, strong underjaw, good stop, the darkest almond set eyes and the neatest of ears that he used all the time giving that desired sweet expression, all held on a lovely reach of neck into good shoulders, good spring of rib. Correct length of back to height ratio with good strength to hind quarters and bend of stifle, well rounded bone and neat feet. When asked to move he was sound front and rear with low tail carriage. In very good coat and condition which was well presented. I was more than thrilled to award him the CC and also very pleased to see him be awarded BOB and BIS by the Referee: Mrs Christine Collins. My star of the day.

WOW! When judging you hope to find something special. This was my something. He has the most exquisite expression from his dark almond eye and no mistaking his gender. His head is so well moulded, strong under jaw, good stop, neat ears used all the time, clean back skull, good reach of neck into good shoulder, nice length of back bend of stifle, right amount of bone, good feet, correct length to height ratio. Although not a big dog, he is completely balanced throughout, in good coat and condition, moved soundly with good front extension and drive at rear. CC and BOB with complete agreement of co-judge: Mrs Jean Catliff. I also learnt this gave him his title. Many congratulations.
