Sired by Ch Royoni Ahead in Time and mother is Ch Bolwarra Dirty Dancin. Frankie is following in her mothers footsteps already picking up challenges from Minor class, and winning a Runner Up Best in Group in an excellent Gundog line up. Mr Vernon said she caught his eye the minute she entered the ring, being one of the nicest cockers he has seen in a long time. I am still pinching myself. In 2006 at just 13months of age Franky won BOB at the Canberra Royal under Mrs Muirhead from the UK. She was also place Junior in group under Mr G Brown from VIC. The latest photo is by Cabal.

Awesome made a great start to 2006 with a Runner Up Best in Group at his first show for the year. He has only lightly been shown to date and we intend bringing him out to more shows this year. Awesome has excelled all my hopes by winning BOB and Junior in Group at his second outing this year under Mr John Bink and on his fourth outing going BOB, Best in Group and Runner Up Best in Show under group judge Mr Ron Bessoff and General Specials judge Mrs Dianne Bessoff.
