Castor has done so well, considering we never bought him as a "show dog"!

Rachel spent her childhood days with the North Staffordshire Pony Club, leaving it in her teens for the world of travelling (& boys), but it was 'in the blood' to compete and once she started to attempt the complex world of dog showing, all the competitive feelings came flooding back with a vengeance!

Born 25th October 2002, Castor made his debut at Three Counties in 2003 and won Best Puppy.

Following on from that he had some lovely wins at both Open & Championship shows and both handler & dog gained some confidence along the way! Castor has also been the Hound Day winner of 3 Special Beginners Stakes Classes -all with over 30 dogs present in the class.

At Bath 2006, under Mr J. Aitken-Johnson, Castor won Limit Dog and took the Reserve Challenge Certificate, which gained him his Stud Book Number, which we were so proud of.

One of his critiques read "wonderful masculine head & expression,well arched neck into a good lay of shoulder, nice length of upper arm & correctly angled pasterns, good depth of chest, super top line, a v.typical dog with impressive movement".

Most importantly to us is that he is a perfect gentleman with a kind and gentle temperament, which he has passed onto his progeny.

Hip Score 7/6

Castor has now been castrated after siring 3 lovely litters and is now enjoying his 'retirement'!
