This follows on from her winning the Reserve CC and Best Junior In Show under breed specialist Rui Oliveira (Portugal) in 2006. A young daughter of Jo Dowthwaite's import NZ CH Freebreeze Romantic Fool at Notting Hill (Imp UK) Juniper is making her mark on the scene with a number of Best of Group and Reserve Best of Group awards under both local and overseas judges since then. Combining the best UK lines from Crookrise and other kennels, she continues our line of winning bitches.

Ch.Porthcurno Soleil D'Or went Best In Show under Mrs. M E Diesem (Rexford, NY) , shown by co-owner Becky Randall at the Seddon Districts Gundog Soc. Ch. Show on 30th. Nov 2002. Becky has had Marcus since he was 9 months old, and she has shown him in many Junior Handler contests and had more than her share of winning there, as well as competing with him in the breed ring with some good wins against some very stiff competition, including a Res. Best In Show All-breeds Ch. show.
