Gundog Puppy Group
G2 58 – Crimwell Trouble Maker at Stormacre NAF TAF, Breed: Retriever (Curly Coated) (Misses C & L A Mercer & Thomas) She possesses a pretty wedge-shaped head, strong slightly arched neck, is well constructed throughout and has a lovely air of elegance about her. Terrific crisp coat clearly lacking undercoat.
