Zorro preperation to show.

The photo below was taken not long after we rescued "Zorro", the day that I picked him up he was in a pathetic state. As I have been showing dogs now for a number of years I knew he had potential and I am glad to say he has done well.

Photo taken March 2008.

We started showing him last year in June and over a short period of time he about 4 months he had gained 4 CC's for the German Champion, due to some favoritism at a show in October I decided to stop showing, now some 6 months on and a chance to calm down Zorro and I will enter the ring again in June.

The photo above I took yesterday after grooming him and cleaning his beard, his coat has reached a suitable length and I would say he has reached about 85% of his final length. We will have to trim his butt a little as he looks a little long which he isn't and I will need to start doing a little bike work with him to build up his condition

Who me!!

We are proud of his progress and that he has done so well, this week we will visit his breeder a I am curious to hear her opinion of him, keep your fingers crossed then we have two shows in June and if he gets the ticket at both shows then he will be a German Champion.

He really is beautiful! Ru keeps trying to attack the front wheel of my bike so I need to somehow train him but he just goes crazy every time. What a wonderful fairytale story Zorro is, I think his story should be made into a film :bow: :clappurple:
Good luck in June! I am happy to hear that Zorro is back on the Show Circuit again. He is one beautiful sheepie boy.
Congrats Stuart of such great progress with Zorro. Wish both of you the best in June.
I am so pleased you have decided to show Zorro again Stewart.

He is such a beautiful boy and I wish you both the very best for June.

His DoB is the 23 of June 2006, although to look at him '23 could be right and the stuffing is coming out. :D :D :D

I am taking Zorro down to his breeder (Chris) on Wednesday to let her see him again, the last time she seen him was Easter last year not ong after I had picked him up, at that time she was shocked at his condition, lets see what she says on Wednesday. During the visit he will be trimmed to get the coat back into show length and condition.

I will take some photo's when I am there and if possible a short video of his movement, I am really pleased with the colour of his coat it is beautiful and it is nearly the same colour as Misty's.

A bit thanks to all of you for your best wishes and if you all keep your :crossed: then it certainly cannot go wrong.
Fantastic News Stewart!!!! Go Zorro Go!!!!! good luck in june
Congrats! :)
What a huge difference a year can make. He looks great now. I'm very glad to hear that you have decided to enter the show ring with him once again. Fingers crossed for your shows in June. :crossed: Good Luck! :cheer:
WOW. What a wonderful job.
He looks great, and what a wonderful story.
Good Job to both of you!
