For quite some time I was looking for a "part-trained dog" out of a top kennel in the UK. I had already come across several descendants out of Tom Smith's Craighorn line and had taken notice of their superb temperament, trainability and good look. Thus I immediately took the chance to acquire Pal, when I got to know that Tom was "over-good-dogged" at that moment and wanted to sell Pal :-)

Therefore Pal stayed the first 15 months of his life with Tom in Scotland, where he also received his basic training und lives now with me near Cologne in Germany.

Pal impresses with the following traits & qualities:

• Excellent working style (pace, drive & style),
• Distinct "game finding abilities" (nose, marking & retrieving abilities),
• Absolute "will-to-please"
• Splendid controllability/ trainability
• Very friendly & affectionate towards humans and dogs

In Pal you can recognise his mother FTCH Lochmuir Aimee of Craighorn and his father FTCH Wingsham Tinder of Smithsteads (2nd IGL Championship 2005) to the same extent. The dog does not only combine all the parental top qualities in his pedigree, that can be expected from such high-quality champion-to-champion mating. In fact he proves all hereditary traits & qualities of his parents day after day in real life & in competitions.
