'Where temperament comes as standard'
Portia
A
Our cheeky Portia is just so much fun to live with and to be around.
Life is never dull and from the moment she opens her eyes in the morning she is happy and cheery all day long, ask her nicely and she will even smile for you ;)
She reminds me very much of her daddy Delight in her looks but attitude and she is all mummy Esther.
She has been consistantly placed at the shows she attended as a puppy and following some time off she was only selectively shown in 2019 but those shows she did attend she had some great results. 2020 was a complete wash out with the pandemic but now back in the ring in 2021 and she has again had some great results. At the three shows attended she has been placed at them all however, our proudest achievement this year has been at Yorkshire Golden Retriever Club Championship Show where not only did she qualify for Crufts 2022 but also gained her KC stud book number and her Cufts lifetime qualifcation.
We are super proud of her.
