BEST PUPPY – Berkenbar Angelina

The English Springer Spaniel Club of Scotland held a Ch Show where BIS was Alanea On Silent Wings: RBIS Calvdale Blak To The Future & BP Berkenbar Angelina.

A good quality entry with few absent, much appreciated considering the weather warnings & gale force winds. As usual bitches were stronger in type and quality & I felt heads should be a major concern. Where is the kind, melting expression which should be typical of the ESS? I found this in my CC Winners & I make no apologies for the colour of them. Class should count not the colour.
