In January 1998 I send a package with chilled seemen from Butch to Finland, and a few months later I took a plane to Finland to pick-up one of the three sons of Butch's last litter. I took Andy home where his natural father helped raising him. Andy grew into a very special dog who created history in the breed. In the year 2000 dogs were allowed to go into Great Britain without quarantine, and Andy managed to win his first CC's that year. On the CCRC Championshipshow in 2002 won his final CC, and in January 2003 he passed the Show Gundog Working Certificate and became a full Champion. Besides his show results Andy is a wonderful dog to live with. Like his father did, he cleans all ears and eyes of the other dogs every day, he is a very sweet and caring person, but also full of mischief. Click here to see Andy's pedigree.

After winning the biggest Curly Club's Championshipshow in Finland in july 2008 Andy retired from the showring, and is now Bruiser's "nanny".
