Silas was never meant to stay but being such a sweet, cute and laid back little dude, it was too easy to fall in love with him along with his super conformation. A real 'social butterfly' with a sweet disposition and total clown.
He was the third born in the litter, hence his name - Silas - which is a Hebrew name meaning 'three' or 'third' as well as being a Latin name for 'God of the Forest'.

JD (3,1) What a lovely pair of well-schooled and beautifully handled youngsters. 1 Gaskell's Memetuka Dealer's Choice. 7mth R/W. What can I say? This young lad ticks all the boxes! He presents a beautiful, square outline, is lightly built with fine bone and an exquisite head. Small, hooded ears, excellent wrinkles and chiselling, a beautiful far-seeing expression with dark, almond shaped eyes, lovely short muzzle with slight stop, dark pigment. Shoulders well laid back; lovely, straight forelegs, elbows tucked in. Good depth of chest and nice tuck up. Short, level back. Pliant skin with good coat and colour. Very balanced with correct, moderate angles front and rear. High set tail with good shelf behind. Neat, padded feet. Hocks well let down. His movement is dead straight coming and going. Beautifully presented. Delighted to award him BD, BP and BOB. I will be watching his career with great interest.

PGD (4) 1 Memetuka Dealer's Choice RCC. Eyecatching young man. Super front and rear assembly. Square outline, short back, neat feet. Lovely head with almond eyes & typical expression. Good front fill. Correct pliable coat. Moved true. 2 Memetuka Free Spin For Mushanta. Litter brother to first. Consulting my database, I see this litter goes back on both sides to dogs I have admired in Finland and Australia. The breeder did well to combine them and I congratulate her! Much the same critique can be written of this boy, so much positive, so much to like about them both.
