***A 1st PLACE FOR DUDLEY IN HIS CLASS AT CRUFTS FROM 24 ENTRIES...

WELL DONE MY SPECIAL LAD***

Dudley, was purchased from the well known Cascob kennels.
At various championship Shows I kept seeing what I (and lots of judges) thought was the most stunning bitch, she was Cascob Catatonic, when I found out she was mated to the most gorgeous Dogue ZORBRE (IR.CH Laruscades Miracle Boy for Anbarees)......................I booked a puppy.
I first made the long journey to Yorkshire when the pups were four weeks old, they were really cute, I could not say it was love at first sight. I went back to choose one four weeks later, I had the choice of three boys, they were all adorable but quite different, I took quite sometime to pick but eventually picked the puppy who was going to be known as Dudley, he was quite small but compact with good bone, I could not say it was love even on second sight, but something was about to happen on the long drive home, other than Dudley crying for the first hour, being sick twice, and wetting three times, I fell in love with this vulnerable, lovely little dog, in the first week he gained a kilo and a half, and became much more confident, even though he was quite a mummy's boy, wanting to know were I was at all times. I can not believe how much that little dogue has changed, he has turned into a stunning adult with a really deep chest, good bone, and lovely tight feet, his movement in the show ring is incredible , which is really hard to get in such a big dogue. Dudleys show results speak for themselves, he has gained many top awards and even best of breed twice, quite an achievement for a young boy. Well even mummies boys grow up!

DUDLEY IS HIP-SCORED 8/24 TOTAL 32
