SEMILLON is a real enthusiast - he enjoys going to shows and holding his own rosette. He loves swimming and is a keen retriever too! He became a blood donor in 2009 and has saved numerous canine lives by donating regularly. He has inherited his sound movement from his sire ZINFANDEL, his excellent bone from his grand sire BEAUJOLAIS, so would add quality and substance to any line that is finely made. Semillon gained his stud book number at LKA in Dec 2011 when he was awarded the reserve DCC.
