28.04.2018 Irish Water Spaniel Club of America National Specialty - US

🌟🌟🌟NEW AMERICAN CHAMPION🌟🌟🌟

Finn (Woodrock’s North by Northwest) took Winners Dog at Irish Water Spaniel Club of America National Specialty and completed his championship today under Betsy Horn Humer! What a way to finish!

From judges critique: 'When the Open Dog Class came in the ring, one of the dogs caught my eye. I felt he would win the class before I had my hands on him. He carries a correct coat, distinctive head with a correct muzzle, well-clothed ears and
good proportions. He was balanced and moved freely. The 2nd place dog gave him a run for his money and was seriously considered for lst place. Slightly better movement gave the lst place dog the edge. The first place dog went onto Winners Dog and the 2nd place dog was Reserve. It was a “young’ entry with three of the class dogs over the age of 2 1⁄2 years.'

Huge congrats and thank you to his owners Emily, Pam and Florence.

​Thank you Vickie and Pepi for everything, this is one special litter!

She passed her Spaniels Hunting Ability Test with flying colors.

' Breeding dogs is a creative process that combines the eye of the artist with the laws of nature. Add to that a large measure of common sense. Breeding dogs is a process of building generation after generation, of constantly gaining in one area and losing in another. 
The breeder is like juggler trying to keep the pins for correct type, 
stable temperament, and good health in the air at the same time.
The bitch is the building block utilized in the process of creative breeding. When selecting a foundation bitch or planning a breeding, there is one principal that I have witnessed as law: What ye sow, ye shall reap.'
