Yo-Yo is a bitch we kept out of the last litter of "Dot". We really liked her outgoing temperament as a pup. Last shooting season she worked the full season. She is a fast and stylish bitch with lots of drive and brains. Thick cover, brambles etc. is no problem for her. She is a lovely bitch for work and trials.

We kept "Vlecky and Violin" from our litter out of "Dot". We didn't know which one to choose as we had 8 bitches in the litter which we all liked. So we ended up keeping Vlecky and Violin for a while. After a year we made a choice and we decided to keep Vlecky.

Squareclose Demmi is bred by Ian Christie and is imported from Scotland. Her father is FTCH Emmawood Drake owned by Mike Rolland, who was a competitor at the IGL Retriever Championship in 2007, 2008 and 2009. He also won at the Game Fair 2008 with the Scottish Retriever team from Ireland, England and Wales, and managed to join this team in 2009, 2010 and 2011 also. 

Demmi is an absolute pleasure to take out on a shooting day as picker up dog and she is a very good gamefinder. She is very steady and quiet when hares run in front of her and she doesn't bother it at all when other dogs are send for a retrieve. She just waits for her turn and we didn't have to do much to achieve this as she is very easy to train.
