When we mated Ch Walkon Ain't No Saint, to Ch Sandcliffe Snog In The Fog At Jimbren we knew they both carried the red gene but hardly dared hope for red puppies. We were consequently delighted when out popped this little red girl whom we named Rose' after the wine.

Like a fine wine she will take time to mature but has given us a taste of things to come by starting her career by qualifying for Crufts 2010 on three of her four outings to date.
It was even more thrilling when she won 1st Minor Puppy Bitch at Blackpool Championship Show third time out and then two shows later at the British Boxer Club Championship Show under breed specialist Eddie Banks, and with Walker at the helm once agin won 1st minor Puppy Bitch!

With a bit of a gap in the show ring to make way for Walkon Pin Up Girl, her very slightly older kennel mate, "Rose" returned to the ring at the South Western Boxer Club Championship Show, in November, where despite still being a puppy she won a good Novice Bitch class under South African judge Mrs Manduel-Carkeek.

We look forward to her "colourfull" addition to our show team in 2009.
