Kiki

Kiki is my long awaited addition to the family. This was a litter I didn't think would ever happen after her mum Jovi missed last time and her seasons were so late before then. Her dad is the very gorgeous Deny who I have admired for many years, and I am very grateful his owners allowed me to use him with Jovi.

Her movement is just effortless and she covers the ground well, which is exactly as we'd expected considering her parents' powerful movement. She's a sensitive girl but she's the kindest natured and is also a real comedian, never failing to make us laugh with her craziness. 

Kiki has done well in the show ring so far, winning Best Puppy Bitch and Reserve Best Puppy in Breed at Blackpool Championship show. 

She has also managed to win enough Best Of Breeds and fantastic Utility Group wins and placings, to gan her Show Certificate of Merit aged just 15 months, our youngest dog to have achieved this.
