Nova Scotia Duck Tolling (Retriever)

Puppy

1st Rogers’ Eusanit Redora - A beautifully balanced young puppy with excellent breed type. Lovely wedge-shaped head with correct ear set and dark almond eyes giving a soft, intelligent expression. Clean neck into well-laid shoulders, and topline held level on the move. Strong rear with well-angulated stifles, producing sound, effortless movement. Tail carriage animated but never flagging. Alert and focused in the ring, showing classic Toller energy without being over the top. BP. 2nd Hughes’ Abacot Heart of the Ocean. another lovely youngster, unlucky to meet my winner today. Many attributes also apply. Lovely alert but gentle expression on this young man, well muscled, today not quite the mover of 1st place but no doubt these two will be changing places. Good luck in your puppy careers.
