Spark

Bryning Bright Spark

Locheil the Future’s Bright at Bryning X Bryning Sparkle ‘n’ Shine

Spark smiling

I have hankered after a classically marked, show quality blue merle dog for quite some time but nothing has been ‘quite right’, I had a very definite idea in my head of how this boy would look so it was with some slightly apprehensive but excited anticipation that I awaited this litter. Sure enough, Dazzle obliged and Spark was born. I'm very pleased with the way he's shaping up, he's very like his mum and grandad Bond. My feeling at this stage is that he will be better than either of his parents (and that can't be a bad thing can it?!)

He has the most endearing character and sweet nature, happy and bouncy and eager to 'do' but laid back, sweet and loving too. He is a super friendly boy with everyone he meets...people and dogs alike.

Spark has attended a few shows and is always in the cards, he placed 3rd at Crufts this year and with just limited outings has gained his stud book number.

Spark's first pups are showing real promise in all fields. Placing well in the showrings and training up well in agility and flyball. Click HERE to see some of his kids.
