Joules is from Elsa's first litter (litter J). We chose her as she was the strongest bitch puppy in the litter. Elsa is a fantastic bitch but is a little too tall. We wanted a stud dog that was shorter and stockier to improve on her bone and substance. We found this in Jarod. Jarod is a good strong male, not too tall, with great bone. Joules has inherited all his good points and is a very strong, young bitch. She is well muscled, strong, sound and very fit.

 

Joules has done very well in the show ring with the highlights being winning Best Pippy at Crufts as well as Reserve Best Bitch (AV Import Register Working) which is quite an achievement for a puppy. The following year she won BOB (AV Import Register Working) at Crufts.

 

She passed her Bronze Good Citizen award at the age of 5 months and has also passed her silver. Joules has excellent health test results.

 

Sadly Joules passed away at a young age due to a suspected blood clot after a C section. She leaves behind two litters, two of which have been retained by us, Molly and Purdey.

2nd July 2017 – Windsor Championship Show

1st OB + Res BB

Judge: Mrs Sue Parkin-Russell  Critique:   1st Brailey’s Springhaze Just Dreaming. 3-year-old bitch. A tad on the heavy side which meant she missed out on top honours today. Level top line kept whilst standing and on the move. Correct slope to croup with well-set tail. Moved with drive and purpose round the ring. Just needs to lose those few extra pounds to put her back into perfect body condition. Reserve Best Bitch.

 

 

28th May 2017  - Bath Championship Show

1st OB + Res BB

Judge:  Mrs S Hewart-Chambers  Critique:  Strong girl, attractive head but lips a tad loose.  Ears a little large, arched neck, straight front, tight arched feet.  Good depth of body and good tuck up, tight arched feet with pleasing angulations all round.  Well set and carried tail, she moved out steadily.

 

15th April 2017 – WPBA of Wales Championship Show

2nd OD/B + Res BB

Judge: Mrs K Young   Critique:  I liked this bitch for her breed type.  Well balanced in head and pleasing expression.  I wold like a firmer topline and she was carrying a little too much weight.

 

1st April 2017 – GSMD Breed Club Show

1st OB + BB + BOB

Judge:  Mrs Helen Davenport-Willis   Critique:  3 years top size, strong and substantial female, head matches her size.  Balanced proportions, very good front angles, neck and brisket development.  Pleasing topline and rounded croup, shapely quarters.  Presented in first class coat and condition she moved out well and was sound.  Had a tendency to stand with her tail tucked under her but she certainly did not have a temperament problem.  Handled well to get the best from her.  Her undercarriage could have been firmer but her overall qualities outweighed her deficiencies and secures her this position and eventual BIS.
