1 Tulloch’s Binnaig Sea The Stars Over Tullochmohr; lovely young yellow dog, full of breed type, flows from nose to tail. Such a pleasing head with the gentlest expression. Good neck, level topline, correct angulation front and rear. He is well boned and in excellent coat and condition. Moved very well with reach and drive. Pushed hard for BOB and just lost out on maturity
