Fredie..... "Oakprides Apollo of Melaisey JW ShCM"

Fredie was bred by Carolyn Mabey of the Oakprides Affix, using the Fernwood lines of Mike & Maureen Smith. A very successful combination. Fredies' name is an anagram of "Deifer" Thats why I insist it's only ever spelt with one D and an IE on the end.

When I got Fredie I decided I would have a bash at showing, well he has done so well and we are extremely proud of him.

We have enjoyed showing and have made some excellent friends. Some people are always willing to help and always there to congratulate or comiserate. Some are not so willing ,We hope to continue showing our dogs.

In 2006 Fredie gained his Junior Warrant and his Show Certificate of Merit.

He now has his Stud Book Number and Life Time Qualification To Crufts. We felt this was excellent achievment for a 2 year old dog with a novice handler.

What we didn't realise was that these achievements were just the start of things. Fredie has since gone on to win Best In Show at a very large Open show with over 2000 dogs entered . In 2007 He won Reserve Challenge Certificate. Then in 2008 he won his first Challenge Certificate and another Reserve. We could only have dreamt of these awards. If Fredie wins nothing else he as already exceeded any of our expectations.

Showing is not the whole of Fredies life. He has also gained his Good Citizen Gold award in obedience and continues to do obedience every week.

He has sired 3 litters now , "The Oakprides Phoenix Litter", "The Samala Free Litter" and our very own "Singleton pup Solo"

In December 2005 Fredie was character tested by the "Rottweiler Club ". He passed "Excellent" . He is due to be re-tested in October 2009, almost 5 years later and with so much happening in his life the results will be interesting.

Fredie is Blood Donor at our local vets, he has the super nature that is needed and is in excellent health.
