NEWS*****After making her belated show debut, China qualified for Crufts at Midland Counties under breed specialist Tony Jane. She then won her class at her second Championship show, the Collie Association under breed specialist John Congdon. Since then she has gone from strength to strength,  RESERVE CC at  Blackpool Champ show, placed 2nd  in a big class at Leeds Champ show, then taking her second RESERVE CC at  East Anglian Collie Association  Champ show in an entry of 130 bitches..!! We look forward to her continued show career. China is Litter sister  to  IRISH CHAMPION WICANI TOUCH OF ELEGANCE AT SERYPHINA. and she is the Dam of  Wicani Just William at Lusha.

AGREED BY MANY TO BE THE BEST MOVING COLLIE SEEN IN THE RING TODAY.....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

critique for CA Championship show 2006. judge:  John Congdon.

"Very striking, lovely coloured 2 year old merle, head is of good length, well placed and used ears, super neck, outline and length of back, moved around the ring with drive and purpose on her well boned legs and tight feet, presented immaculately."

critique for Leeds Cahmpionship show 2007. judge Sandra Wigglesworth.

" Aptly named merle who actually sparkled, she is full of quality, her movement was a great example  for the breed, she gave me goose bumps to see such drive and soundness. She has a nice dark eye, a longer and more refined head than 1 and not quite the definition in stop, she is a good colour and has all the glamour and furnishings to present a stunning picture, with super neck and body length.....she will always be recognised by the specialist but she is an allrounders dream.."

critique for EACA 2007 judge Lisa Pettitt

" BM bitch who on entering the ring did not think she would be one of my top winners, but after handling her and watching her move, kept bringing my attention back to her. Has physical lines of strength and activity, is leanly built and needs to broaden out a little in chest. Head is lean and balanced with flat skull, well filled muzzle, strong underjaw and correctly placed eye. It was her light and effortless movement with reach and drive that won her this strong class, and despite the heat, she looked as if she could have walked all the way home. Reserve CC."
