Open Bitch (1,0 absent)

1st Mc Brides Riccini Not on your Nelly 6 year old white and orange with a lovely head and expression Good coat and skin Nice square bitch who was carrying a little too much weight for me and this made her look slightly heavier across the shoulder and this affected her in the challenge
