Fredie is a blood Donor, and has now given Blood 4 times.
Fredie also became a Daddy .
In April 2009, I decided to take Fredie out of the show ring, after he displayed a change in behaviour, It came as a disapointment as he had just reached his peak in maturity and had just gone into OPEN DOG. Where I have no doubt those all important 2CC's would have followed. However Fredie's health and wellbeing is more important.Fredie has been found to be suffering from Benign Prostatic Hpyerplasia,
this is currently being treated, and Fredie may well make a return to the showring if however it does not respond how the vet would like it to, it will mean he will need to be neutered. We will be taking one day at a time.Most importantly Fredie is happy and continues to do obedience and as recently started working trials.
We also continue to work with Fredie at RingCraft ,and with the help of Jenny Brooks of Shires dog training and Ring Craft, we may still yet change Fredie's mind (and mine) about showing.
