WE RECENTLY WENT TO A TRAINING DAY IN ROCHDALE AND I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO GET A PICTURE OF RYAN AND HIS DAD AFTER A HARD MORNING HUNTING OVER THE MOORS,AS YOU CAN SEE THEY BOTH STILL HAVE A LOT LEFT IN THE TANK FOR THE AFTERNOON.

CURRENTLY RYAN IS OUR ONLY DOG. HE IS 20 MONTHS OLD AND HE HAS HAD A VERY GOOD FIRST YEAR IN THE SHOW RING.
HE QUALIFIED FOR CRUFTS 2005 IN HIS FISRT CHAMP SHOW AT MANCHESTER 2004 UNDER ELLIS HULME. I WAS TRULY AMAZED AND IT TOOK A COUPLE OF DAYS TO REALISE WHAT WE HAD DONE. OUR FIRST DOG, FIRST SHOW DOG, AND FIRST SHOW.
HE HAS AN AMAZING PERSONALITY AND FIRST CLASS TEMPERAMENT. HE WAS PLACED 1ST IN SEVERAL OTHER CHAMP SHOWS AND HAS GONE BOB AT 2 OPEN SHOWS. HE REALLY IS A LOVELY LOVELY DOG.
