Featured below is Barleyarch Polkadot JW, aka, Dotty, who is sired by Am Ch/Sh Ch VJK-Myst Sterling of Barleyarch, out of our stunning Sh Ch Barleyarch Pickpocket. Dotty is from the first litter sired by Sterling and she is proving to be very much a Transatlantic puppy with features and characteristics from both parents.
Dotty has had a very promising start to her showing career winning her "Junior Warrant", many "Best Puppy in Breed" awards at Championship Show level and a prestigious "Best Puppy in Show" at the GSP Club Open Show, and 1 Challenge Certificate at just 8 months old, together with 3 Reserve CCs,culminating in being awarded Top Puppy in Breed for 2010! Dotty is about to embark on only her second show season and has already started the new year with a bang winning her Junior class and being awarded Reserve Bitch CC, very precocious, just like her mum, she just loves showing and being the centre of attention.........even if she does go at 90 m.p.h. around the ring with me trying to catch her up!
Her gundog training is also progressing nicely, and she is showing herself to be one of the fastest and brightest hunters we have encountered, and we are excited at the proepct of working her this next season. She loves retrieving, water and just about EVERYTHING........!
Below are just a selection of photos taken as she is growing up, but as she is still a baby still, we hope the best is yet to come.
