Lucy

She looks much younger than she is. She's a retired ex-breeding dog and has such a lovely face and huge eyes.

Vets seem to take age 7 as the point where they consider a dog to be a senior.

I asked what people wanted as a start age for seniors of this section and most thought seven was about right. At any rate she IS a retiree...

Karlin, she has to be the most beautiful Blenheim I have ever seen. That face would make anyone melt

Donna - I have to agree, she has got the sweetest face and you can see the fluffy bits of her coats that make you feel like you are in a dream.

She is lovely. What a face!

She was one of breeder Laura Lang's (Roycroft) favourite breeding dogs though she wasn't shown as far as I know.

This is how Laura describes her (formal name Blu, but my parents call her Lucy) on her website:

BLU is another beautiful puppy out of my Rummy and has inherited her mother's very full, gorgeous head and large dark eyes.
She is a cute little girl with a very compact body, nice structure
and good movement.

She does move beautifully -- you really see in the movements of a dog like this, what is sought in show dogs and why most end up as pets (just as most of us don't end up with modelling careers).

My three don't have that movement -- a lovely trot with her tail straight out, swishing gently from side to side, head up.

Oh is she ever pretty! She has one of the sweetest faces ever.

Bentley loves to pick up my socks too, and he will just carry them around the place and then he'll lay down and take a nap with the sock...he never chews on them, he just loves to have them with him. Cavaliers and socks!! lol!
