Could have carried more weight, well handled, one to watch in the future. |
| 1st Minor Puppy Bitch | Pointer Club Championship Show | Mr Frank Kane | Raigmore Let it Shine and this could be an auspicious name for this beautiful 6 months o/w. Beautiful type all through, glorious head and great way of going. She is raw in body but moves well and has great Pointer style. Liked her immensely and could have taken her home.
