Well what can you say about this little pocket rocket, I have to admit she was a joy to have in the ring. A very pretty 7mnth old lively bitch.

Very black nose, strong jaw with correct scissor bite. Good oval eye with nice dark pigment. Still coming into her body but it’s all there in abundance. Nice round feet. A lovely coat for her age. Her movement was where she shone, once she decided to slow her attitude down and give her handler a break she moved effortlessly, straight and free flowing an absolute joy to watch. My pleasure to give her BPIB and BOB.
