Tasha must be so typical of the breed then. You must be really pleased with him - I hear he has the most wonderful temperament.

Its great that Maxine and Sarah have managed to bring in another bloodline from Zeffiro Gallo, we have been so pleased with the choice of Ero III del Zeffiro when we mated Kira in Germany to produce Timo.

Thank you, we are really luck to have him. As well being of great quality he has a super temperament and has fitted into our family as if he has been here forever. He is kind, honest, obedient and a true gentleman. We adore him already.

Well done Sarah and Irho for passing the KC Bronze Good Citizen - not bad considering he has only been here 1 month and you have already taught him “English” onwards and upwards to GOLD now.
