Two of the greatest gentlemen in the ring today,
ReplyDeleteRoy & Cliff Steele....take it to the limit Cliff.
Roy and Cliff are writing the Legend of the Beardie. What a beautiful team to watch, history in the making!
ReplyDeleteI have it on good authority that he's a great dog underneath the coat but for goodness sake stop trimming it.... beardies are a 'no-trim' breed.
