Mister is a special dog in every way, he has a wonderful temperament, is so laid back and trusting and is a joy to live with, and he will be staying with me for the rest of his life. His favourite games include ‘scootering’ around with his upturned feed or water bowl and he has managed to ruin numerous steel bowls this way, playing with his frisbies and searching for items (usually treats) I have hidden.
He is proven at stud and is available to approved bitches.
(See the puppy page for some of his youngsters)
Below are some of his photos taken at shows, details of his wins and the judges’ critiques which I hope you will enjoy reading.
