CH NORWATCH SUNHAWK RAFFLES

7 CCs, 6 RCC

As young as three weeks of age Raffles was known as Ch. Fred. He was temporarily christened this by us and Barbara Greenway - his class just stood out. Even as early as 6 weeks he had a lovely head (see puppy page) a neck to die for and a stunning body.

He was named Raffles because Eddie had won a stud to Ch. Tyegarth Famous Grouse in a raffle back in the early 1980s. He kept hold of the winning ticket and used it for Tuesday's famous litter.

He was a tall, rangey puppy and did not start to win until he was around a year old. Raffles was a real showman - he would turn head over heels for a ball but managed to contained his excitement in the ring - all we had to do was roll a ball in front of him and he just stood and stared at it keeping very still - very unlike a Boxer !

Because of this showmanship his title came relatively quickly.
He won the Dog CC at Crufts in 1988.
