'Catcher' came to Australia from the famous American To-Jo kennels in 1998 after finishing his US title with best of breeds from the classes (over champions),group placements as well as a Best in Match at Longview Kennel Club. He stepped straight into showing with a number of best in groups to obtain his Australian championship. Along the way to his 'Grand' he continued his winning ways with numerous all Breeds Best in Shows/Runner Up Best in Show awards, Specialty Best in Show/Runner Up Best in Show awards, and a Royal Best in Group & Runner Up Best in Group. He was also a Contest of Champions contestant on numerous occasions. He was also Tasmanian Working Dog of the Year in 2000. Catcher was also awarded many other 'top' prizes along the way in his wonderful show career. As a sire he was used selectively to only 2 bitches but produced 3 fanatstic offspring.
