CH. SPECIAL
SHARP-DRESSED MAN |
|
"ZZ" is
a blue-headed white rough. He was born August 19, 2001. He is sired by Ch.Clarion Millenium out of Ch. Special Jewel O'Th'North, n/e.
"ZZ"
never placed less than First Place in any regular class while being
campaigned to his championship. He won a huge (40+) specialty sweeps his
first show at 6 months old and the prestigious Zimmerman Memorial Trophy for
1st Place Open White rough at the 2004 CCA. He finished at 2 years and 9

Below are details of ZZ's offspring from his first
4 litters: |
|
Litter #1 Out of
Ch. Special Tigerlily of Neverland, n/e |
|

|
|
Champion Special
Sharp-Shooter, n/e
"Pistol" was named for his
great-great grandfather Ch.North Country Sure Shot of whom he is so
reminiscent. He is the first champion for his sire ZZ and a littermate to
our specialty-winning Ch.Special Fleur-de-Lis. He finished quickly as a puppy
with 4 majors. I was
so impressed with his intelligence, temperment and working drive that I
donated him to NEADS, of Princeton, MA, the country's oldest assistance and hearing dog
training school.
The first leg of his training included a stint at the local prison to brush up
on his obedience skills. While there, his name was changed to the more elegant "Bristol" as
having a big black dog in prison named Pistol was a no-no. Bristol passed his OFA preliminary and was neutered. He spent 3 months in Maine learning the basics
of assistance dog training which he passed with flying colors and has finished
his intense training at the NEADS
Princeton facility.
Bristol
graduates October 29th! Bristol was matched with a
school in Wisconsin where he is helping children with emotional and
behavioral problems.
