| Zebedee has proven himself over the years at all levels and under some of the top Judges and breeders of our time from all over the World. I can physically only mention a few But my heart felt thanks goes to all who have placed, appreciated or supported us honestly. Zebedee has continued to improve as he has matured and watching him go from the crysalis stage to the full butterfly has been a pleasure, even if it sure took its time and with patience not usually my fortay. Zebedee is not a dog who can be missed or ignored by those who know soundness and what a true butterfly is. He makes everyone aware of his presense just by standing there and his soundness is seen so clearly on the move, which is as near as perfection as possibly. His body is as well made as they come and even now at 11 he has a full set of teeth, a spring of rib, depth of chest and a coat to die for. He knows he is the best and has never let me or any judges down who have appreciated him. However Most of all Zebedee is my Heart boy. My Right hand man who brings much joy and love in an other wise Dull life. He has pretty much done everything there is to do, including being the youngest ever registered PAT dog ( pets as Therapy ) when he passed his assessment at 6 months to the day, passing with flying colours. He has also taken part in Agility for fun and exercise both here and in Ireland. He also Took part and passed his Bronze, Silver and Gold Good Citizens Tests, and Won the first ever Good Citzens class at Crufts, where his daughter won the BCC/BOS. He has also taken part in and passed a basic gundog test, where the pheasant was bigger than him. <G> Zebedee won UK top stud 04 from his 1st sired litter (of 2) which produced, 2 champion Bitches, one of which was a Club BIS winner ( who actually beat him for BIS the day he won his Ir Ch. Title, he got RBIS ) and both bitches Finished Top Papillon Bitches in 04. Hope has now gone on to produce a 3rd Generation Champion in her Daughter Saffy - Ch. Spinillons Saffire JW SH CM who at 15 months is my youngest ever champion and also the youngest Papillon/Bitch to Win her SH CM title. Zebedee was the first Papillon to ever win his SH CM title in 5 straight Shows, so looks like a bit of family rivalry there lol. Zeb was retired for a bit while I showed my other dogs and was accidentally pulled from retirement for a day out at Darlington Ch. Show where he surprised us (not having shown for a year ) giving us his all and then going on to Win Best Veteran and the1st Veteran Toy Group Ever to be held at Darlington (Sep 06), he was then put back in the ring for some fun and went on to win his 8th BIS beating a full line up of dogs that were much younger than him. <G> On the 9.4.07 Zebedee went with my Friend Karen to the Papillon Butterfly dogs club CH. show and out of 302 entries, More entries than at Crufts won his 9th BEST IN SHOW under Claire Ann Ahern and Michael Quinny. WAY TO GO ZEBBY ! Since then barely shown he has picked up 11 Best Veteran in Shows, another Group 1(( ( Darlington 09 ) and group 3 placing there too and a few more RCC's. Zeb is a dog who has got better with age and who looks far better now than he did as a youngester. Thank you to all the judges who have honestly appreciated, realised and not penalised the fact he is better as a Veteran. I did retire him again after his last BVIS but showing is in his blood and he is looking well, ever the Bright Spark so he will come out again for the odd show club show here and there lol and just to prove it Zeb was back in the Ring in Ireland for the St patrick show 17.3. 10 and he wins Best Veteran and BOB. From this win he adds another title to his name CW 10 - celtic winner 2010 Not bad for an old boy in top condition and a full set of teeth too. <G> Way to go Zebedee !!!!! You still Got it and I just Love Ya boy! |
