    About this ebook

    International judge Robert Cole's expert perspective on some of the important elements of judging the Collie. You will "enter" a show ring and decide for yourself which is the best dog. After you have made your selection you will be walked through the process of judging step-by-step. It is an opportunity to test your knowledge and get a feel for some of the key points involved in judging this breed. The excellent graphics will help clarify what may appear to be a complex process. This is NOT a complete analysis of the Standard or of the judging points.

      Publisher’s Note

      Dogwise Publishing is pleased to present to the dog fancier the You Be The Judge series. You Be The Judge is not intended to be a complete analysis of the standard or judging points of the Collie. Rather it is the author’s expert perspective on some of the important elements of judging the Collie. We hope that this series benefits the exhibitor, breeder and judge by drawing attention to key points of the Collie’s conformation.
