1st Brigginshaw Domburg Just Love Me At Cashele

I have previously judged this super quality bitch puppy, ultimately awarding her Puppy Group 1. Her head continues to mature nicely, correct angulation in front, good ribbing, strong short loin, correct rear with well let down hocks. Overall she has a lovely balanced shape which she maintains on the move. Sound out and back with a low effortless side gait of style with animation. BOB & Best Puppy. Pleased to see that later she won Best Puppy in Show.
