and from watching lots of collies, a happy focused dog will have a flick to the end of his tail - historically believed so the white tip (the shepherds lantern) can be seen on dark stormy nights

They must've had bloody good eye sight in those days!

Just to add, here are the links for both Crufts 2011 and Westminster 2011 where you can find the photos to post of your BOB winners:

Ha haa- brill

On the most part I prefer the English type better, with the odd exception.

You can either keep scrolling down until you find it, or use CTRL + F and type in the breed name to search that way.

Westminister Rough Collie

Gch Kelso's Moon Dancin



Crufts Best of Breed

Salsina Stargazer



Not a huge amount of difference in these examples. BUT I have to say I do prefer the American Rough Collie over the British version. I feel the UK coat has gotten silly, and some of them are so small they resemble Shelties. US dogs have the height, and they have a much nicer coat. JMHO

Crufts Great Dane winner


Westminister winner



I usually prefer the European danes...but except for the cropped ears I'm liking this American winner better.
