It’s no secret I took him Back at 18months old from his puppy home but what a puppy home he had with the Hutton family , Louise I hope your as proud of him as i am .we believed in the boy. Matching him with Oscar was the best decision I made although I was close a few times to stepping in 🫣but definitely not necessary they grew together & all the Great Dane / dog show folks out there know the challenges you face.

Thankyou Maria for your support , every show without fail hands on Doug teeth teeth teeth😁Thankyou to all for the help with Doug & keeping Oscar right x

In the short space of time I’ve seen the boys flourish & trust build. Credit is all to Oscar for not Quitting when the times got tough. For getting up those early mornings.

Edited per usual it takes me a while 🫣
Proud breeder moment for Mika ballyfrawley (rose Dooley )( Islandrose my youngsters )& Oakley Kinnegans (Sonya Duffy) ❤️ without these 2 ladies I wouldn’t have achieved my dreams ❤️
