1. Dean’s Moonhill Social Climber

Just out of puppy and full of exuberance, once settled she showed sound movement covering the ground well. Lots to like about her, well constructed with good proportions and a very pretty head, I think she could body up a little as she’s a touch narrow all through at the moment but has plenty of time, well coated, presented and handled.
