 Jenkins’ TOLLELKIN VILLEVENARD OF WHISTLEFIRE

 Very promising dog puppy, was just a little unsettled in the ring which will improve with experience. Well defined, clean head shape, A little on the rump on the day which obviously showed on the topline, but front and rear angulation adequate for age.
