Moss - Rothievale Mint

Moss is a great grandson of my original bitch Speckle and is exactly what I have strived for in a dog through carefully line breeding, outcrossing and then breeding back in. He is alot of dog and makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end when he is hunting. Despite being a big dog, he has a very low to the ground action and has formidable power, no cover is harsh enough for him he gets under it all and he has a fantastic nose showing his mothers game finding and line taking ability and his fathers attitude to cover and retrieving abilities in gun sense and marking. Moss is the third generation of Rothievale breeding and I feel the thought I have put into breeding has paid off as he is the best dog I have had so far. He is alot like his grandmother, is eyecatching, fast and stylish hunting white grass aswell as cover and has a natural pattern, his ground and wind treatment is second to none, he has been a very natural dog to train.

Sire OFTW Halaze Hickory of Edgegrove (aka Laddie)
Dam OFTW Rothievale Gentian (aka Berry)
Date of Birth 17/5/2011

He has a lovely confirmation, a broad head, straight legs and is long in the body. Although quite a handful due to the fact he is so keen, he has been relatively easy to steady to fur and feather and you only have to show him something once. He has already shown his class by gaining a 3rd and 2nd in puppy tests amongst much older company. I hope to trial him if I can hold him and keep the polish on him and if I'm brave enough!!!

Moss's litter brother owned by Jeremy Organ, Rothievale Medlar of Edgegrove ran in his first trial at 18 months at the end of the season and got 2nd! He has also been tested to have good hips, elbows, eyes and DNA clear for Fuco and PRA Cord 1. See Jeremy's website on my links page.
