CH TORNADOSTORM THE LEGACY X TIKKURILAN WICKED WITCH JW

Comfort is owned and loved by Josephine Ashburner of the Cubik affix.

She is a stunning girl and fantastic character. She is spoiled rotten by Josie and her mum.

Comfort has been shown a few times winning Mid Limit under Martin Grimwood at the Potteries champ show in 2004 he gave her a lovely write up which sums up why she is not often shown.

Ashburners - Stormpike Comfort and Joy - Topsize plus bitch but I wasnt to deny her top spot here over another very good bitch, caused me to think long and hard in the final line up of unbeaten bitches. Had I not had the quality closer to the standard concerning height I would not have hesitated. Absolutely wonderful head and expression, one to die for, I said into the recorder. Neat well placed ears, darkest of eyes, strong clean purposeful muzzle. Straight strong forequarters, brisket to elbow, well ribbed back, good body definition,  good tuck up and light in loin. I would love to see her with an ounce or two more off her. Well angulated and muscled hindquarters, put her feet exactly right with rear pasterns vertical, balanced throughout moved as good as she looked. I suspect her height would scare many and will result in her being overlooked and beaten by  vastly inferior bitches. Definately in my top four.

We are so proud of her.
