1950’s

He went to his first show - London & Provincial Collie Club Sanction Show on the 17th November 1956, but he was unplaced in the Puppy Class. The Judge was Mrs P Green. He did go on to win 7 first Prizes in his show career.
His pedigree is of some interest. CRONWAY CUSPIDOR won 2 CCs but he had a very light eye which was the main reason he did not get his title. He was a popular stud dog in the London area at this time.
