I loved this compact and sturdy tri colour bitch of nearly 18 months. She is beautifully balanced throughout. Correct head with slight dome and moderate width, dark coloured eyes which are set correctly to give an alert expression carried on a long neck which would allow her to come down to scent with ease.
