Lovely to see these three veterans, all in such good condition. It is such a bonus if we are lucky enough to have our lovely dogs reach a healthy old age.
1. Waterton’s Lynwood Strands of Silk at Sandstream JW ShCM, one I have done well in the past and still think she is lovely! To look into those kind dark eyes just melts the heart! Maybe showing her age a little on the move, but her conformation is so sound. Very elegant in profile, lovely head, good length to neck, good shoulder angulation, deep through her chest and strong hindquarters. BV:
