Darcy is from a long awaited
litter sired by the superb dog Gr Ch Nynka Such A Dutchman. I
had been wanting to use Levi at stud for some time, and it finally
eventuated in 1998.
After a lot of anticipation, Lucy presented us
with just 2 puppies, both males when we were hoping for a girl.
However the quality of these 2 puppies could not be denied
and so both stayed.
Darcy was no ones pick but mine. Everyone chose
Drew over him, but I knew that Darcy just needed some time. So
he sat back during the baby puppy classes as Drew swept all before
him.
But at his last show in Baby Puppy, Darcy decided
enough was enough, and from that day when he won his first Class
in Group he has never looked back.
In just one month as a Minor Puppy, Darcy took an impressive number
of wins at Breed, Group and Show levels. Two R/U BIG
awards, 2 Minor in Shows, 5 Minor in Groups and over 1/2
way to his title at just 7 months of age.
The Puppy Class was just as good, with wins includuing
Puppy in Show at the Non Sporting DC of NSW, also
Puppy in Show AND Champion Puppy in Show at the Keeshond
Club of NSW under Keeshond Specialist Gina Marsh of Keesland Fame
(UK). He topped off a great run (all these wins were in consecutive
shows) with Puppy in Show at the large metropolitan Ladies
Kennel Association of NSW Show.
Not long after this Darcy had a break from the
ring, and then a 3 month holiday in Victoria with Janette Pearson.
He came home with multiple Best in Group awards, as
well as Junior in Show at the Keeshond Club of
SA under Keeshond Specialist Wendy Vicum (Renhei).
On his return home it was just a few more trips
into the ring and we finished his title.
