"Blue Boy" is one of two yellow males in
this litter. He weighed approximately 6 oz. at birth. He is an extremely outgoing and
sociable puppy. He comes when called and will follow one to the ends of the earth with
tail always wagging. He does exhibit an inquisitive nature and is neither timid nor
fearful of new experiences. He approaches new obstacles cautiously but with a desire to
investigate. His attention span is good at this age and he enjoys being handled and
cuddled. When interacting with his littermates, I find him neither shy nor a bully. Though
not an instigator for trouble, when crossed, he is fully capable of defending himself.
From a conformational standpoint, in doing my 6-7 week evaluation of the litter, I find
Blue Boy to be one of the better balanced and conformationally correct puppies. He has a
well- domed head and I expect him to develop a beautiful, broad head characteristic of his
English lines. His square muzzle is reminiscent of his father’s, as is his
expression. He has good length of neck, a straight front, and good, well set-back
shoulders with proper 90 degree angulation. Bone and substance is good. His topline , as
well as his length of leg are moderate and combine to present a very balanced picture. His
rear angulation is good, not straight as some of his littermates. I expect him to be well
within the standard in terms of height and probably reach a mature weight of approximately
80-85 lbs. --- P.A. Davol
