the "Virtue's Match" at the prestigious annual "Gathering

judges examine the class and choose the entry that best represents
that virtue. Each judge comments on his top choice and shares
his evaluation with the audience. The judges then have to agree
on the top choice. This Virtues Match was judged by Leslie
Jeszewski, Marcia Keller and Tom Coen (pictured right with
handler Julie Jackson) in a program of audience and exhibitor
participation designed to help the audience better understand
different sections of the Collie Standard.
