Bailey is a gorgeous liver dog with lovely dark eyes and a fantastic personality. Bailey excels at flyball due to his endless energy and enthusiasm. Bailey is a lovely happy dog. Bailey has a great temperament, he is very happy go lucky and loves anyone and anything he meets! He has had his hips tested and scored 0/0, eyes clear and has sired 3 gorgeous healthy litters of 9, 8 and 11: blacks and livers. He is doing well in the show ring (Gaining a first place at Crufts 2016) and shows great working potential. He is overall a very healthy and happy dog and most importantly a fantastic family pet.

Great News for Bailey today! We thought we would go for a day out to Blackpool Championship Dog Show on 21/06/2014 as Baileys first show! Bailey went beyond expectations achieving his first challenge certificate and then onto winning Best Of Breed! Very pleased with our lovely brown boy!

On the day something of a "fairy story" came to life when a somewhat wild and immature liver dog emerged firstly through a large post grad class onto the CC and finishing with BOB.
PGD (14) 1 Sullivan's Jarvo Jewel Of The Lake. A large class of quality from which this liver boy emerged, on the downside he is immature in body and this is not helped as there is a tendency towards lesser coat associated with this colour, that said the coat is completely correct to standard, furthermore I am not being unkind when I say that his young handler is less than accomplished and still needs experience to enhance the many virtues of this youngster, my purpose as a judge is to find outstanding specimens of the breed, when excellence is combined with great handling then decisions can be more easily arrived at however this was not a handling class and as such a great dog should emerge without concern to irrelevant details like handling or glamour. This is a superb young male with a fabulous "dry head" and gorgeous expression and in a breed where light eyes are far too frequent to find a liver with such dark eye is a treat. Well constructed throughout and literally solid his musculature is so dense. His proportions are perfect with a good length of leg giving not only balance but a correct outline, so strong in topline with a perfect tail set, he has super bone and well cushioned feet and of course slightly sloping pasterns, his bad behaviour ends when it comes to moving when this boy really comes into his own. I have to confess that when I first considered the challenge he was not the front runner however once he moved there was really no other flat coat in the whole entry who could match him, he has completely effortless motion, is perfectly sound on the "out and back" and displays the lightness of foot of a truly sporting dog. As I got up to award BOB it was with every intuition of rewarding the fully mature and gorgeous typey bitch and again on the move I just couldn't resist him!
