Although young, Tinbie has very sound structure and movement. He moves better than any puppy we've had - no excessive "puppy movement" at all, just very clean-moving with considerable reach and drive and is very sound both coming and going.

Tinbie is nicely angulated, with slightly more angulation in both the front and the rear than his sire, Huxley. He has terrific bone and substance, a correct croup and tailset, excellent length of neck and a long rib cage. He has a lovely head, with a long, deep muzzle, good eye shape and pleasing expression. His eyes are starting to darken a bit now that he is approaching two years old. His feet are deep, strong and tight.

Tinbie has already had some success in the show ring, finishing his championship very quickly, from the 6-9 month puppy class. He won three Best Puppy in Sporting Groups. At the FCRSA 2007 specialty, he placed 2nd in his puppy sweepstakes class. At the FCRSA 2008 specialty he won the bred-by exhibitor class and then went on to win Winners Dog and a Judge's Award of Merit. Unfortunately we were unaware that he could not be entered in the bred-by class under his CKC number, so we did not get to keep the 5 point major win. We still love him though!
