Jason is a happy, friendly boy with a lot of energy and exuberence. His owner reports he has a nice front with good coverging movement. His big happy tail is carried well when he moves, and I love his proper length of neck, solid topline,
good angles, well sprung ribs and sturdy bones.
There is an adorable new puppy at Jason's home, who has adopted him as her favorite playmate. He loves to get down and be a puppy with her. Typically wonderful temperament!
Jason's career has been impressive from the start! At just 11 months he won a Group 2 and has received invitations to Crufts his first two years in the ring. His winning ways are ongoing!!
Jason's sire, Sparrow, is a dog with a lovely look and an impressive show record that awarded
him an International Championship! Jason's dam, Katie, brings a strong linebreeding of the
well known Benton line from Finland.
This combination will offer both classic looking Welsh Springers and healthy genetic diversity.
Brulee is from an impressive line of top winning Welsh Springers in the U.S. Her sire, Filson, has a record number of CHIC (Canine Health Center) designated offspring. She has 3 Best In Show winners behind her, and her Dam picked up her Grand Championship easily. Bru is an incredibly devoted companion, a gentle soul, she is super smart and just stubborn enough to keep us on our toes. Shows are not her favorite activity, so the stubborn kicks in and many days she is just bored with the whole scene. But, when she wants to be a pretty show girl, she is! Brulee has 10 pts towards her AKC Championship, including an impressive 5 pt Major won during the WSSCA Supported Entry weekend in Long Beach, CA at the Kennel Club of Beverly Hills in 2013.
A Breeder with over 40 years in Welsh Springers said Brulee has "one of the best fronts I've ever seen on a Welsh!"
* Brulee's hip score from OFA is a Mild, but there is NO DJD (degenerative joint disease) present, nor arthritic scaring. Her hips are referred to a s sub-luxated meaning the sockets are more open and not the nice snug fit the OFA wants to see. Bru walks up to a grooming table and hops up on it like she is taking another step, so while the hips are not what we are aiming for, they are not a hinderenance to her in the least.
Brulee has 8 FULL siblings with passing hip scores: 2 Excellent, 5 Good and 1 Fair. All have passing Elbows. Six siblings have had their thyroid test done, and all 6 are normal.
With the preponderance of passing hip & other test scores within her siblings, half siblings, parents, grandparents, cousins, etc., we belive this breeding to Jason, who has the equivilent of EXCELLENT hips, and the more diverse genetic background he brings to the litter will give us a good outcome in this area.
As always, the Health Testing gives us tools with which to improve the next generation.

Jason is from the Netherlands. Their Hip score system gives a letter grade with "A" being equivalent to OFA's "Excellent" rating.
Jason, his Parents and 3 of 4 Grandparents are all "HD:A" which is one key reason for using him with Brulee.
