As a young dog, he always won very well at breed level, but never seemed to be able to crack it at group level. This always perplexed me, as he was a very handsome boy. He could beat Belle for BOB, but it was a rare day that he would win anything at group level. That is not to say he didnt, as he did, but not as many as he should have. He was a champion at just 12 months old. A short trip to Queensland for stud duties, turned into an extended stay. 2 years later Bryce finally came home as a multiple Best in Show winner. We knew he could do it :) I still have people to this day tell me about this dog they saw up there......I just smile, because I know they are talking about Bryce. When he came home I had another young male at my place, and the two did not see eye to eye! So Bryce went to live with my mum and dad. He came out as a Veteran a couple of time, however a bee sting to his ear meant we could not finish off his Grand Ch title. On the 14th December 2005, Bryce was outside my parents house, when something made him decide to go out on the road (which he never did). Clearly his timing sucked, because Bryce was hit by a speeding car, and died instantly. He was 10 years old. RIP young man, we miss you terribly.
