Pointer Club of Scotland Open Show 1st Minor Puppy Bitch Mrs C Twyman  o/w of 6 months, very promising quality baby with plenty of presence, sweet feminine head, lovely reachy neck, well laid shoulders, good turn of stifle, tight feet. Could have carried more weight, well handled, one to watch in the future.
Pointer Club Championship Show 1st Minor Puppy Bitch 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.
