Rest my beautiful Blondie for your Story has been told and your Time has come
From the makiing of you and the nurturing; to the schooling and competing
The travelling in hope and anticipation your quality and true type won through
Champion and Mother of Champions you played your part and fulfilled our every dream
Your boundless enthusiasm and will to please made you the very best of everything.
My thanks to everyone who thought so highly of Blondie and took us on a fantastic journey - it has been a blast...

He took my eye as soon as he entered the ring and he didnt disappoint on going over him. Best of heads, both balanced and masculine giving a gentle melting expression.

His coat was presented to perfection. Without any hesitation he was my BIS winner."
