The beautiful Dylan has matured into a lovely sound and honest cocker.

Absolutely thrilled to be awarded Best in Show - Veteran 7 - 10 years at the 18th National Cocker Spaniel Championship Show held in Queensland on the 9-10th August 2018: Judge Mr Mark Boswell (UK) . At 8.5 years old he still loves the ring and as always he is a pleasure to show to judges.

The judges critique: "This great veteran headed a lovely class of four worthy champions! Medium Blue, super outline and head. Fit for function as the saying goes, as I am sure all are in this class. Moved and presented well.

The 'DRUMPRINTT' kids also played at the National with 3 puppies finishing on the podium in 3rd and 5th place - all from large competitive classes.

He could retire ....but no....after the hot summer I entered the 2019 Toowoomba Royal, a show that we have not done before. Super proud that he was awarded at 9 years of age, Reserve Dog Challenge under Mr Nicon Chin (Singapore).

Like his father the great Aust Ch Am GrCh Blueprint Winfree Party Waggin (Hayden), he gets better with age.

Dylan is now 12 years old and very healthy. Very proud to say he is now a triple Veteran in Show Specialty Show winner.

In recognition of the championship points he has achieved during his show Dogs Queensland have awarded him the title Grand Champion (Bronze level).

Dylan passed away on 13 January 2022. The most beautiful dog that gave so much. He will always be loved.
