Sh Ch/ Lux Ch/ Int Ch RMarco accomplishments to date have been amazing.

Marco is home bred his sire is Aus Ch Hungargunn Hyperno and his dam is Stanegate Anastacia at Risley.Marco was from  a litter of nine puppies, we ended up keeping a dog and a bitch , his sister Dakota will have her own page.

Marco is one of the most loving dogs I have ever owned, he always tries to please and is much loved. He started his career with a bang getting his first green star as a 6 month old puppy. To date he has in excess of 80 green  stars,  18 group wins, and three BIS, and numerous BIS placings. In 2011 Marco was third overall in the Show Dog ot the Year final. He has been invited to attend  again in 2012.The event will be held on 18th February, 2012. He also qualified for the Champion of Champions event which took place in January, 2012, Marco was reserve on the night our thanks to the judge Mr. Jose Juan Vidal Montero. 

Marco was the annual champion in 2010 and 2011 having the most green stars in the calendar year. 

On our first trip abroad to Luxembourg Marco gained his Lux Ch title, the CAC, CACIB and was 2nd in a very strong group.

At SKC he was awarded the Reserve CC our thanks to Mrs Jackie Perkins breed specialist for awarding our boy this honour.
Marco now has his UK stud book number.

Marco will again be invited to attend the show dog of the year event for 2013 as he finished 2nd overall grp 7 , as he shared points with his sister.

If Marco never went to another show in his lifetime he would continue to be our special boy, a joy to live with and a pleasure to be owned by...







A head shot of Marco, he has such a soft expression he just melts your heart.

 

Champion of Champions event

We had a fantastic night at the Green Isle Hotel in Dublin which was the venue for the  Champion of Champions event. All of the dogs entered were immaculately turned out and all on their best behaviour. 

The judge for the evening was Mr. Jose Juan Vidal Montero to whom we would like to extend out thanks for awarding Marco reserve Ch of Ch. We would also like to thank our friend Jane Anthony who handles Marco for her skill and empthay  that she always shows when handling any of our dogs.

The night was really enjoyable as we were at the table with our friends and the night passed very quickly or so we thought till we looked at the clock and discovered it was 3.30 am..

Really looking forward to the Show Dog of the Year on 18th February, 12 whether you get placed or not you are sure to enjoy the fabulous company.
