AUSTRALIAN GRAND CHAMPION
CHILDERKEEZ ANZAK PARADE
(Tobi Tobias Bullswool)
Sire: Australian Ch. Rymiska
Top Notch
Dam: American & Australian
Ch. Childericks Flame Fatalle (imp USA)
Whelped on 1/2/1999, Tobi was
one of a litter bred by Trevor Rogers, of Victoria & Candice Harris of
Idaho USA, from the only American & Australian Champion Keeshond.
He was the smallest,
last-born and “least likely to,” but I fell in love with him. When the
time came Trevor did me the honour of letting me take him home, just to
see how he developed. The rest as they say, is history.
Due to my husbands’ serious
illness, I have been unable to attend shows for many weeks and only
sporadically for some time before that. It is fitting therefore, that
Trevor was handling Tobi, when he gained his Grand title with Best In
Group, under Ms G Alexander, then BEST IN SHOW under Mrs B Pontin.
Though not what you would
call a world-beater, Tobi has always been consistent, with a Best In Show,
multi Runner Up In Shows, Best In Groups, Classes In Group and Show and
countless sweepstakes wins.
His career highlights so far
are Puppy In Group 7 at Royal Adelaide Show in 1999 and Best In Specialty
Show under an International Judge in 2002 and of course Grand Champion in
2005.
Heartfelt thanks to Trevor &
Cheri, Leanne & Michael, Phyllis, Clarrie & all my dog show friends for
their support and encouragement through the hard times and for sharing the
good times.
Special thanks to the
international judges and those from all states of Australia for awarding
Tobi so consistently, especially when it occasionally meant looking beyond
his sheer enthusiasm to find the real dog.
“From runt of the litter to Grand Champion”!
Not bad for a boy from the bush.
