I searched for more than a year for the stud dog my "Roca" would be bred to. I wanted to linebreed on CH Borador Wilcare Mastercopy and insisted on perfect clearances and near perfect structure and tremendous type.
CH Wilcare Leisure Suit Larry was chosen and the first litter was spectacular and incredibly uniform. I wasn't able to keep a puppy until the September 7, 2008 litter - my "SIGGY".
CEDARWOODS SIGNATURE BROWNING COPIED was selected from a litter of 3 males and 6 females. The angles in the shoulder, upper arm and rear-end were amazing and 'orange boy' became my boy "SIGGY"
His first time out was the British Columbia Labrador Retriever Club show, August 2009, when he was 11 months old.
I was blessed as he was selected WINNERS DOG AND BEST PUPPY IN BREED as judged by international judge Virginia Lynn.
A couple of weeks later, he was entered in one show on a 3 day weekend in B.C. and was awarded Best of Breed for 5 points. At Ladies Kennel Club show, he was again awarded Best of Breed over Champions and a SPORTING GROUP SECOND to finish his Canadian Championship in style.
At Rose City Labrador Retriever Club Specialty #1 South of Portland Thursday July 12, "Siggy" won the Open Chocolate class and also the Hunting Retriever class under respected breeder-judge Barbara Nowak (BROYHILL). She awarded him WINNERS DOG for 5 majors, no minor points, 1 major reserve and 18 points! She later remarked how she "loved his fluid and correct movement and that he certainly did have an exceptional length of neck and wonderfully laid back shoulders."
The 2nd RCLRC specialty was judged by Elizabeth Bowron (FORTUNE). I was so blessed to have her bring out the Best Of Breed Rosette and look between her Winners Bitch and "Siggy" and yet awarding him BEST of OPPOSITE SEX! With it being 95 degrees and 98% humidity, pictures weren't great, but he kept showing for me!
HE HAS HAD TREMENDOUS INTEREST AS A STUD DOG.
