Ross has a lovely, balanced, easy going, kind nature and temprament. A very loyal companion, he is a dream to live with and a joy to have around.

He is enjoying his retirement, though I'm sure he would still love a day out at a show.

Ross is focussed in whatever he does. He has enjoyed most types of training and has gained his KC Good Citizens Bronze Award. He loved to be in the show ring and was a natural showman, which he did with a blend of enthusiasm and charisma.

Ross gained his stud book number.He has had a very successful show career; with many 1st and 2nd placings at open and championship level and has consistently taken Crufts qualifying placings since the start of his show career as a minor puppy in 2010. As a puppy he also gained two Best Puppy in Breeds, one Gundog Puppy Group placing and became a 2010 Border Counties Gundog Club Top Dog Qualifier.

Success in the ring continued for Ross as an adult who has taken two Reserve Best of Breeds, three Best of Breeds and three Gundog Group placings.

One of the proudest days of my life was when Ross took Reserve Best In Show at Tonge & District Canine Society in 2011. The following year, at Crufts 2012, he took Reserve Graduate Dog out of an entry of 20 dogs - another very proud day for me and one I will never forget!

As a veteran he has one Best Veteran in Breed and a Best Veteran In Show.
