PUPPY DOG (4) PARKINSON, STOKES: DELBRUPAR THE GAMBLER. What a puppy, just at the end of his puppy career and he is such a super dog.

Lovely long neck onto great shoulders, straight front, well bodied with spring of rib. Level back and good tailset. Expertly presented with ice white coat. Will watch this youngster and I'm sure he will gain his crown. A credit to his owner, so pleased to award him BPIB & RDCC

2nd. MARQUISS:  QUISSMAR LIGHTNING Rider. Smaller male but such a lovely puppy, shame came up against 1st.
