 What a cracking, most appealing 18 months old parti-colour bitch! WOW, she gave me goosebumps as soon as entered the ring. So merry and sound and feminine bitch that ticked all my boxes when it comes to breedfeatures.

Her movement was second to none, so effortless, smooth and groundcovering, her coat was presented in immaculate condition and not a hari out of place. Her handled piloted her to perfection and they were so well co-ordinated together. It was a sincere pleasure to go over her on the day and she was my absolute winner on the day, my notes said “perfection”. I had no doubts to award her the CC and BOB and I am very much looking forward to follow her future career. Sadly the handler couldn’t stay for the Group since I would have loved others to see this “beauty” in the mainring.
