We didn't plan on having another pointer quite so soon but when we went to see Sue's latest litter and saw the only orange and white girl our hearts were immediately taken.
We had already picked out the name, Lola, and she has certainly lived up to it! Lola was bought as a birthday present for Jonathan (and boy is she a daddy's girl!) and as my first "proper" show dog.

Lola's show career as a puppy has been very successful, numerous Best Puppy in Breed's at open show, a Reserve Best of Breed, consistently placed at Championship Shows and she managed to Qualify for Crufts 2007 on a number of occasions.
Like Tilly, Lola is an incredible bird finder, her turn of speed is quite breathtaking and this wonderful movement has transferred to the show ring. Jonathan has returned from Afghanistan now and is continuing with her gundog training.
We haven't been to many shows yet this year due to personal circumstances but hope to get out and about a bit more over the summer months.
Lola has delighted us by qualifying for Crufts 2009 at only her second champ show of the year. She took 3rd in a strong post graduate bitch class. We have a few more shows to attend with her later in summer and autumn so here's hoping the other judges appreciate her qualities! Although she wasn't placed in her class at Crufts she delighted us with her performance, and her beautiful movement, as always!
SPLASH!!!
