Mango is a fully health tested, beautiful natured dog with great health clearances. He excels at his work and has been extremely straight forward to train.

A fast and powerful dog, with stylish hunt action but equally a super loving and affectionate character.

He has a super temperament, a fabulous off switch and is very easy to live with, he gets on with absolutely everybody and any dog.

He is a gentle boy, full of heart and passion to work. An excellent marker and quick to learn, I am excited to compete with him this summer and he will join my picking up team this coming season.

He has a dark soft coat, beautiful head, flat topline, powerful stature at 30kg yet you wouldn't know it as he's so fast and moves beautifully.

Available to health tested bitches.

Regarding Gonioscopy scoring, there is now no difference between Grade 0 and Grade 1 and these will be merged.

An update from the Royal Kennel Club regarding the merging of grades for BVA/KC/ISDA Eye Scheme from 1st January 2026. The changes will automatically and retrospectively be changed online for those dogs with a Grade 0. Press release below:
BVA Canine Health Schemes
BVA/KC/ISDS Eye Scheme
This year has seen a number of changes being made to the way in which we record grades for pectinate ligament abnormality (PLA)/ goniodysgenesis under the scheme, following feedback from our breed communities and in particular the flagging of discrepancies between grade 0 and grade 1 dogs. We held a meeting with the BVA, the scheme’s Chief Panellist, and representatives from PLA breeds back in September, and are pleased to report that as of January 2026 there will be changes made to the scheme to address this feedback. This involves the merging of grade 0 and grade 1 dogs, because the panellists consider that growing evidence suggests there is no meaningful difference between these two categories, moving us to a 3-point system.
