Rangemore Arko was born on the 22nd December 2001. We began showing him in August the following year and he imediately made a huge impact winning BPD in his 1st show under Joe Summerhill and BPIS at his second under Herr Lother Quoll SV , finishing the year joint top puppy dog.
Since then Arko has been a consistent winner under a wide range of judges, only being beaten once in Post Grad and winning his way out in only 6 shows. His 1st RCC was under Dennis Bibby at Southern Counties, his 2nd Liv Evjen in Scotland and his 3rd Judith Knox in Ireland. He gained his CC under Joan Sanderson at W.E.L.K.S. In 2004 he ended the year 2nd top youth male and 3rd top adult male.
Arkos success hasn't stopped at showing. We started to do obedience with him to exercise his mind and he really took to it and enjoys it. He even won at Essington match night twice with the breed and once with the obedience! So he really does have beauty and brains!!
With the ever growing talk of working qualifications being needed we decided that all our dogs in the future need to be trained to at least SchH1 standard and Arko at the moment is doing very well and loving every minute (as is his dad) having already gained his BH.
