Clifford is from our Gameshow-themed litter (Nest name Magnus). He was the first one born.

He is the first liver RR we have ever shown, only having 3 litters with liver in in our 7th generation.

He is a happy loving dog who loves everyone & lives with my daughter & her family close by.

We last kept & showed siblings 15 years ago & it was hard work at first!

Clifford qualified for Crufts 2025 at the first Championship Show of the year by winning his 3 classes and Best Puppy in Breed. He also made the cut for BPIS. He qualified for Crufts 2026 20 times and won his Mid Limit Class qualifying him for Crufts 2027.

From Judge Marjon Franke
1st Nuthouse Mastermind Elegant livernose with correct pigmentation. Well balanced. Lovely masculine head with correct proportions and a sweet expression. Nice constructed front with a beautiful well laid back shoulder and a good return of upperarm. Nice top and underline. Good croupe. Correct bone, feet and ridge. Moves with ease and a long stride.

Judge Dr S. L. Hemstock (Jolihem) wrote
1 Nuthouse Mastermind (Hicks). Handsome and upstanding liver, almost 2 years, of good size and type. Pleasing overall balance with correct head properties and typical expression. Excellent front and feet. Ridge well defined and symmetrical. Well bodied but more muscular definition behind would complete the picture for me, nonetheless an excellent mover - sound with balanced reach and drive. Shows great promise, he will no doubt gain muscular definition as he matures fully. Strong contender for RCC.
