In July 2009 Zepp's son Bernie joined us at Bushwacker.
Braccorions Bernardo of Bushwacker (Indijazz Ab Fab of Bushwacker x Braccanza Vivania) was bred by Julie Rawlings.
He has been eye tested by KC/BVA panellist Beverly Cottrell and after 12 months of age will be hip and elbow scored.
Bernie has had an exceptional start to his show career - having attended just a handful of shows up to 12 months of age. He is accompanied in the show ring by my daughter Ashleigh - who is young enough to keep up with him!

1st Junior Dog, Best Dog, Best of Breed 'Just 12 months old and not yet fully mature but what a good example of his breed. Excellent construction with strong bone and corrrect angulation front and rear, on strong, tight feet. Typical head shape with kind eye and pleasing expression, good reach of neck with correct topline and tailset, giving an outline full of breed type. In addition he managed to keep his sparkle to the end of a long day whilst he demonstrated his correct, powerful, flowing gait. Deserving winner of Best Dog and Best of Breed. ' Judge Mr G Hargreaves
