By all means please do! Unfortunately I have a rather large birthday we will be celebrating as well but the idea is to wait before opening bottle until after the dog judging!

Hello Crazyhorse

A Champion is icing on the cake! I now have 2 male Champions here at home as well as a recently retired bitch who has 2 CC's

To become a Champion 3 CC's - Challenge Certificates aka 'tickets' - are needed under 3 different Judges.

CC's are hard to come by, my bitch with 2 CC's had numerous 1sts in Open and Limit but often missed out due to being out of coat or in season (she had 4seasons a year)

Generally dogs who become Champions are consistant winners or consistantly placed. EG my other male in the year before he got his CH title won 11 Firsts, 5 Seconds and numerous other placings at Championship level, he himself has 'bred on' well and from just 4 litters and just several of those pups being shown he has produced a male Champion and 2 bitches with 2 CC's and 2 RCC's to date.

When it comes to Champions in pedigrees an uniterested owner can find themself owning a dog with a virtually all red pedigree (Champions are written in red)

Well Done Champ Oliver and Aide, and of course you too! Privilaged to know the little bugger!

It's so neat to see how different dog shows are in other countries! They have their similarities as well.
