French Bulldogs

Puppy (2) 1, Timms’ Olijah Going Deep, This 6 month old dark brindle Dog really impressed me from the moment he entered the ring, perfect balance throughout and a fabulous shape, good substance and absolute quality, sturdy, compact with good bone and a lovely smooth short coat, well shaped square head with well set bat ears, dark eyes set well apart, well set Muzzle with good nostrils and a lovely head profile, with a really good bite, neck strong and well arched, leading into fabulous forequarters, straight strong forelegs set well apart, cobby and well rounded in body with good rear angulation well set tail and lovely small compact feet, everything on the lovely dog seemed to be in proportion and he moved absolutely soundly with good extension and drive BOB, BPIB. Puppy Utility Group 1, Best Puppy In Show.

2, Quinn’s Chareve’s Had To Be You, Lighter brindle 9-month-old, well balanced bitch, feminine and a lot to like about her with a pretty feminine head, dark eyes, well set ears and a good bite, nice length of neck and shoulder placement, well boned and a nice shape, quite a handful for her owner today, but a very promising puppy, that is worth the effort.

Special Yearling (3,1abs) 1, Timms’ Olijah Dare To Dream, Larger and Sturdy well made Brindle Pied Dog, just 6 months old with a good head, correct bite, dark well set eyes and nice bat ears that were well set, he has good bone and substance throughout, with lovely shoulder placement and strong straight legs with good angulation, he was slightly longer in back, but moved really soundly and well. Litter brother to my BOB and not as compact but still a lot to like about him.
