1st Dolman’s Bisquit vd Bismarckquelle

Compact female of nearly 2 years. On standing she presented a pleasing picture with a correct front and head. Sadly the hall was casting shadows in the ring and this really spooked her , she was handled sensitively but despite best efforts this affected my ability to correctly assess movement.
