CH NORWATCH SUHAWK WANNEROO

11 CCs, 2 RCCs

Wanneroo was named after the town where Mitchum lived in Australia. As with most of our stud dogs, we like to use them on our own stock first and Wanni was the creation of Fletcher's proving stud to Ruby Tuesday.

Wanni had the most delightful head, good stop and rise of skull, very good mouth, correct shoulder and hind angulation, and a short strong topline.

Wanni won the RCC under breed specialist Millicent Knox-Ingram at Crufts in 1995. However, one of the most memorable weekends was winning 2 CCs in two days in Ireland under breed specialists Ken Broughton and Annabel Zammit.

After Wanni had finished his show career (and mainly because Fletcher and Wanni disliked each other intensely we couldn’t have them both in the house) we decided to let him go to some good friends of ours, Judy and Nigel Bean, who live not far from us in Newark. Here he spent the rest of his days in the lap of luxury, which is what all boxers should have the chance to do in their retirement.
