Well - pretty Lily has sprung into our lives and what a whirlwind ride it has been so far!
The words 'moderate, symmetrically built, compact, merry' and 'active', all spring to mind watching Lily move with that unique English Springer movement that is STRICTLY 'HER' OWN. No need to run this Springer flat out as her movement is impeccable and CORRECT even at the slowest of speeds.
Lily's correct movement and fabulous BREED TYPE have been applauded and recognized by Gundog Specialists, connoisseurs, and experienced judges alike - which resulted in her being awarded her first 6x BEST EXHIBIT IN SHOW awards before she had even turned 12 months old! Many judges have proclaimed that they would love to take her home, that she gave them 'goosebumps' or that "she made the hair on the back of their neck stand on end" - such is her quality & breed type!
This beautifully bred young Springer has an impeccable pedigree - boasting the names of Europe's most successful Springers. Barecho, Lordsett, Bogaloo's, Linmoor, Goldmoore's, Lelica's - the world's most respected kennels are all to be found there - and of course, being such well-bred down-under springer, it comes as no surprise to find some of Australia's very best there also - with the likes of the world-famous Beautelle and Wongan kennels well represented.
We are still searching for Lily's off-button as she is a seriously full-on energetic, playful young PrinceESS! She wears us out just watching her zoom around with her toupee flying in the breeze! So happy, biddable, friendly, and correct she is a pure delight and just 'fills the eye'.
We are very excited to see what her future holds and we thank those judges who have appreciated her many qualities. Thank you Carey and David for parting with one of your precious babies and allowing her to make the long trip to us. We hope to make you and her illustrious ancestors proud.

BEST OF BREED, JUNIOR IN SHOW & BEST HEAD PROPERTY CLASS ~
Junior bitch just 1yr old. Immediately impressed with her attitude as she came into the ring and her EXCELLENT TYPE. She has a BEAUTIFUL HEAD and ears, BEAUTIFUL FLOW OF NECK, and NECK INTO SHOULDER.
Proportions of depth of chest and overall height are EXCELLENT. Legs when set up come straight down under her as they should. EXCELLENT SWINGING FRONT GAIT, TOPLINE CORRECT – level. Coat in great bloom. Well-muscled behind. Rear movement is VERY GOOD, particularly at the slower gait. When viewed from the front sets down really well in front. I think she has a great future in the ring.
