Jo came to the UK for a visit to compete at the international Gordons2000 event organised by the Gordon Setter Association; we cannot describe how proud we are that he was awarded the Challenge Certificate and Best in Show.
He has also sired quality Gordon Setters, including Michele and Ludo’s Ita/Int/Monaco Ch/Sh Ch Caballus Ebonie Adonis Ludstar who was so successfully campaigned in the UK by Frances Boxall (with whom he lived when he became a permanent resident here) to hold the male breed CC record until recently overtaken. We are truly indebted to Michele and Ludo for loving, campaigning and giving him such a wonderful life! We are very proud of him.
