PILSDON
I first started showing English Setters in 1968 and qualified my first dog for the KC Stud Book in 1970. Since then, I have made up one Champion and qualified several more for the KC Stub Book. I have bred only 12 litters, producing a CC winner and several Championship Show winning dogs in other hands. The last few years, I have been following an operatic career, but have now retired.
This makes me available for judging appointments in dogs and horses. I consider myself to be a knowledgeable, experienced stocksman, I am 100% honest and I have worked hard to gain and maintain my canine knowledge and experience.
