Luca didn't go to many shows as a youngster, and took a bit of training - I tried to hand him over to Pauline as I had my hands full with other dogs, but when he kept mounting her, she threw the lead back at me and said not a chance! However, we persevered with gritted teeth, even managing a grimaced smile when he mounted me in the ring at an early show, and it's fortunately paid off. He has a fondness for all dogs and tries a mad dash to see them all - nice or not!, but we're getting over most of that now - hopefully! I just need a firmer back brace!

Aritaur Rhapsody (Chelsea) is litter sister to Luca, and they both qualified with ease for Crufts 2008. Chelsea also won a 3rd that day.

Luca is a son of Histabraq out of Equinox, who is sired by Drusus vom Adlercrest at Heimdall out of our Flip Fantasia. He is an exciting result of the breeding of international and English bloodlines and we are pleased to be able to show him. Congratulations to the family for keeping him in such good condition.
