Arnie is our first Grand Champion, and for those that know him, will know that Arnie made sure we had to work for it. Arnie was only shown sparingly in the last 3 years as he had decided showing was not for him anymore. If he didn’t want to show there was no making him, but despite that he has done us proud with some great wins in his career.
Except for the occasional veteran outing Arnie is now retired from showing.
Arnie is the sire of 3 champions and grandsire of 9 champions so far.

Malcolm Hart's critique: "Best In Show."
Very well balanced, rich sable in heavy coat of correct texture. Loved his refined head and expression – really lovely eye placement on this dog – would wish his ears were a little better placed. Has a reachy neck but coat on his topline doesn’t make this initially apparent. Shapely dog with the ideal height to length ratio and he has a good shoulder angulation and return of upper arm. Loved his topline with correct sweep over croup and his sensible hind angulation. Moving, he catches the eye for his lengthy stride with minimal lift of feet and balanced drive – makes moving the easy practise it should be. Certainly not a showing fool, and his handler worked well and sympathetically with him to emphasise all of his other attributes."
