Not yet two years old and today I didn’t consider quite at his best.

SNOWSHOE ADULT ASSESSEMENT.

MERIT. CRUSE’S COLDENUFFORSNOW VALLOIR. F. 83aw. 200408.

I have to apologies to the owners of this girl as I have mis-laid her critique. From memory she showed very good type and condition, with coat conforming to the required pattern, very good texture and presentation. Lovely temperament.
