I have watched this black dog since he was a puppy, he has continued to improve into a very attractive type, delightful head, good reach of neck, level topline, good front & depth of body, alert, correct otter tail, moved well.

Anne Lavelle, Darlington Championship Show, 14th September 2014

Black who has a very pleasing outline of medium build. Liked his head & expression, clean neck & good shoulders. Always stood foursquare & was moving quite well. In very good coat & condition. Would prefer better shaped feet, but he is of such a balanced type I forgave this today.

A very promising 6 months black dog with a lovely head with dark almond shaped eyes. Lovely front angulation. Would prefer tighter feet. Fair turn of stifle. Well let down hocks. Best mover in class. BP.
