Pete
immediately descended from Dual & AFC Hiwood Shadow and Dual & AFC
Warpath Macho, Pete brought honor to his forefathers’ legacies by finishing
his CH and MH by three years five months old. He finished his Master title
within a year of achieving his bench championship in five consecutive tests
without fail. Pete went everywhere with me. This year I have not gone to dog
events because, among other reasons, Pete could no longer withstand road trips
(at 11 1/2 yrs of age)
I believe Pete’s greatest gift was the joy he brought to his puppy owners.
To date Pete has produced:
|
5 bench champions; The Number One Labrador Male throughout Asia;
| 1 bitch with All Age Open points;
| 13 Master Hunters, three of which are Qualified All Age; one has over 50 Master passes and is a multiple qualifier at the Master National;
| 45 other hunting titles;
| 1 OTCH and 13 other obedience titles;
| 2 MACHs and 29 other agility titles
| 2 tracking titles. |
Pete's
last litter of ten was born three weeks ago, owned and raised by Puppies
Behind Bars, the organization that utilizes inmates as instructors for guide
dogs and law enforcement dogs.
47% of his 149 progeny that have had OFA certification certified excellent.
He leaves a legacy reaching worldwide among his children and grandchildren, on
three continents, with innumerable achievements. (By Chris Wincek)
French CH Carromer's Charlie Chalk: Brooke's paternal great grandsire
Partial
TRIBUTE TO CHARLIE from owner Felicity Leith-Ross
........ Charlie was 9 months' old on August 20th 1992 when I was lucky enough
to see him curled up in a ball with his litter sister Carmen Miranda. I was
actually looking for a black dog after saying farewell to Kupros Lucifer at
almost 15 years' old. Lucky to notice the yellow ball, lucky that Carol and
Mervyn considered me worthy enough to have him in France, lucky to have had
over twelve unforgettable years with one of the soundest living creatures I
have ever known.
Charlie never had a cross word for anyone, he was a "glad" dog, glad to live, glad to eat, glad to see the sun rise in the morning, glad to meet bitches in season, glad to go on a shoot, glad to lie by the fire, glad to drive through the night, his head on my lap, and still glad at the end of the show to carry his cup round the main ring, glad about everything... Adaptable, biddable Charlie, charming to live with, exciting to pick up with, glorious to show with.
The added bonus was that his genotype turned out to reflect exactly his phenotype and thus his children and grandchildren show his same qualities across five continents. In 1994 he was consecrated TOP DOG all breeds in France and the same year was TOP FIELD TRIAL Labrador. He won 86 International tickets until I retired him at 9 years old from regular competition after he took 2 RBIS at two International all breeds show in a row. He was TOP LABRADOR in France from 1993 through 1999, winning on the way the French Kennel Club CH. Show seven times in 8 years, and the Progeny Class at the French Retriever Club CH. Show every single year including 2003. On March 7th 2004 he was 2nd top stud dog in France (behind the Greyhound) followed in the main ring and onto the podium by his four beautiful champion daughters all of whom were also Field Trial qualified.
Charlie
remains the greatest Labrador ever seen in continental Europe and is
universally considered as the Labrador of the decade. For me he was, above
all, my constant companion : draped over my feet whenever I had time to sit
down, the friend of little children, the welcome committee for visitors, the
only man I have ever lived with in total harmony for over twelve years until
I kissed him goodbye and closed his eyes late on the last of the summer
evenings and let him go because he had had enough.
