Australian Champion Alnclair Amazing Grace

Australian Neuter Champion Alnclair Amazing Grace

Gracie is a sweet young girl who, at the age of just 6 months, won her first challenge points.  She won Baby Sweepstakes, classes in group & BOB awards along the way to her title.  Shown sparingly - she prefers being at home to a show ring - she gained her title with relative ease.  Gracie has proven herself a great mother - after completing her maternal duties she returned to the ring as a neuter, gained her second title, and is now a full time "pet".

What some of the Judges have said about our Gracie, & her show record as a "Neuter Champion" - Gracie gained her Neuter Title in February 2015:

Gracie left the show ring to go on "maternal duties" in late 2010.  She popped back to the show ring in late October 2011 and gained her last points needed for her Australian Champion title. After another "maternal break" Gracie returned to showing in October 2014 to compete in the "Neuter" classes.

"Well constructed bitch who didn't settle on the move in the ring today.  Lovely balanced head, expression and pigmentation.  Good front and rear assembly with well sprung ribcage."

(General judge comment: "This class was not so well behaved and created plenty of work for their handlers.")
