1st - Glebeheath Fingers On Lips (Mrs J Guvercin)
Didn’t realise that both res tickets and best puppy, went to this kennel until I did my critique and looked at breeding. Seems I liked the type! As this bitch had style and quality in all departments for me and the personality to show off her worth, I not only thought highly of her in the class, but she seemed to step up to the mark in the challenge to take the Res CC. A super bitch.
