Sh Ch Withiflor Rolling Stone JW - 3rd Veteran Dog
Spinoza of Merrily avec Withiflor - 1st Graduate Dog
The Judge said:
"Spinoza of Merrily Avec Withiflor (Imp Fra) – Spinonza is a very appropriate name for this boy as he certainly spins around and has such fun in the ring.
There is no way this beautiful black and tan dog can’t be described as cockery in type and nature.
He presents a correct outline both stacked and on the move (once settled), he has a stunning head and dark eye,
his reach of neck and flow into strong shoulders is fabulous, he is short, cobby and compact with width across the loin,
the power from his correct rear angulation is quite something for his handler to contend with but moves true and with drive once settled.
One who can only get better and better with maturity."

1st Graduate - Withiflor Tiny Dancer and Reserve Best of Breed
excellent handling by Miss Pippa Bard (7yrs) on her debut in the ring -
beating her mum, Fran, into second place with Spinoza of Merrily avec Withiflor
Fran handled her own Withiflor Fairy Tale to win Open Bitch, Best of Breed and 4th in the Group.
"1. Bard's Withiflor Fairy Tale JW 6 year old Golden bitch which caught my eye on entering the ring;
she has a beautiful head, gentle expressionand tigh eye. Moderate neck leading to fine shoulders, good spring of rib,
well angulated throughout, short below the hock which drove her merrily around the ring.
Her flat silky coat was well presented. BOB"
