              Hills CH Donay Kappa, lovely 11years old dog, still showing his virtues which I'm sure he showed off at his best years, lovely typical head, good neck and shoulders, strong round bone, firm topline, strong quarters, moved really well, later to learn he is the sire of the top spot winner, BV, best vintage in show
