Smokey came to us after a long wait in caretakers hands in the UK, after a partnership dispute had to be settled in the court over his dam's litter whelped in Quarantine there. Smokey was extreme but never the less a STRIKING dog with no hint of coarseness, he NEVER let me down in the show ring, and gained some wonderful wins in heavy competition ( especially some of the Specialty shows where the entries were extremely high by today's comparison) Once again I found it hard to breed a male to surpass him but, thankfully he produced some lovely females for me to cross back with the Maestro line.
