What a week again !


Today we received a very nice 'late' birthday present in the mailbox.


The official BELGIAN SHOW CHAMPION title of Dustin arrived


As Dustin came as a puppy, we had never the intention of bringing him out in the show world because his parents were not known as "showy" dogs.

But as we need the breeding certificate in Belgium , we had to do a dogshow and as many people we started at a clubmatch and got to know lots of people, saw lovely flatcoats, ....

 

Because of his enormous energy , lots of hunting skills, his love of the water and the retrieves, his super Will to Please, and off course , sometimes his stubborness he is one of a kind.


He is simply loved very much by lots of people. His intelligence,  his hunting skills, his super nose, his great marking skills, his sweetness, gentle but happy and powerful flatcoat temperament enchants everybody.


So in three years of seldom showing, he has won multiple BEST OF BREEDs in Belgium and abroad and this way also earned his titles


CH.I.E.'14 , CH.Belg.E.'14 , CH HR I.'14 Dustin S'12

My boy CH Dustin and I collected 6 CACIB's in less then 1 year in 3 countries, so we had to wait to win the last one we needed for his International Championship.

Yesterday we went to France to try to take the last one, and he did it again by winning champion class, CACIB, BEST OF BREED and Best of Champions, my hunting compagnion proved himself again as an example for our breed.


CH.I.E. CH HR I Dustin can call himself an International ShowDog (CH.I.E.(*)) now


And now , we are gonna go back to the one and only "real" passion for him, hunting
