Joshua was entered in the BMDCO Specialty in early June 2006 as a pup class 6-9 months. He took his class and then went on to take Winners Dog over 7 males entered under judge Les Morrison of South Africa. He was superbly handled by Tom Curley. We were very proud of our Joshua who was working hard in the ring and showing himself very well.

After his debut at the BMDCO Specialty, Joshua was entered for the 4 day week end show put on by the Kawartha Kennel Club in Peterborough early July. He went on to win the breed twice and on the last day Best Puppy in the Working Group as well which gave him his CH title at the age of 10 months. He was simply super and had taken the show like a seasoned dog on the campaign trail.

The proud parents went home with a drawer full of ribbons since our girl Shawnee was also shown and did well for herself. It was decided that we would wait until Joshua would mature for more showing since he deserves to be shown.
