From the moment I brought Reef home at 8 weeks old I knew my life would never be the same again - he is the most enthusiastic & energetic living creature I have ever met! Even at that age I was aware of his strong hunting instincts & he was constantly pointing at everything. His ancestors include 6 Dual Champions (Champions in both show-ring & field trial) - there have only ever been 9 Dual Champions in the history of the breed in this country. He has a huge personality, very extrovert & friendly temperament, & lives life to the full.
Although I didn't start showing Reef until he was over a year old, he's had many successes, including:-
CC - Leeds Championship Show
2 Best In Show
2 Reserve Best In Show
Reserve Best Dog In Show - GSP Club Show
Show Certificate Of Merit
plus many more BOB & Group wins, & 1sts at Champ Shows.
Gil Simpson (Sireva Weimaraners & GSPs) gave him a lovely critique after he won a strong limit dog class at Richmond Championship Show 2008... "Loved this dog's profile both standing & on the move, balanced head with good foreface, neck muscular & of good length leading smoothly into well laid shoulder, good hind angulation & coarse coat".
Thanks also to Valerie Foss & Alex Stammer, judges at Blackpool Championship Show & SKC Championship Show 2008, who both considered Reef worthy of top awards in the challenge after winning limit dog (Blackpool) & open dog (SKC).
Only a youngster when he won Reserve Best Dog In Show at the GSP Club Show, judged by Ros Foggin, her critique... "What a lovely boy. Correct size with the bone & substance I was looking for. Beautiful head and soft expression. Sound and covered his ground. Moved soundly".
*** 3 August 2008 ***
Reef wins another Best In Show, this time at York Canine Association, judged by John Hicks & Anne Pickburn.
The shooting season is, however, Reef's favourite time of year, working on the beating line & picking up on 2 local shoots. He has a very fast, wide ranging hunting style with endless drive & enthusiasm.
Reef is a medium height dog standing 24 inches to the withers, has a short, coarse, dense coat and a perfect correct scissor bite.
