Finn is a red merle like his dad.  My first ‘show dog’ – well, I didn’t know how hard it is with a merle!   I got Finn off of Anita Tydeman, who is now my Mother in Law!  He introduced me to showing and we mainly did the local open shows – in those days I’d never heard about Championship Shows and he didn’t attend one of those until he was over a year old.

He’s not shown a lot now but we did do some agility training.  We only entered one agility show and he got 5 faults but was in the top 20 out of 200.

Finn qualified for Crufts 2007 by winning the veteran dog class at Bath Champ Show to a huge roar from our friends.  It was his first Crufts qualification and I was so proud of him. 

Finn is a lovely lad who sucks blankets and pillows, a big softy who loves nothing more than a cuddle with 'Mummy' but can also be a bit dominant with other males.
