Socks

Sire: Colorado's How The West Was Won (USA)

Dam: Am, NZ, Aust Ch Los Pinos Spotlight in Paris (Imp USA)

* Although the elbow scoring schemes in Australia and Sweden are supposed to be the same, there are some differences.
The x-rays used to obtain this Australian score were sent to Sweden and scored 0 by the Swedish KC. Please contact Kylie for more details.

Socks has an outgoing personality and wiggles his whole body when he gets excited. He moves like a dream, covers the ground with ease and is the spitting image of his working ancestors. He has limited show exposure and has been a real learning curve for the judges. As one judge who awarded him Junior In Group commented, “Nice dog, weird colour”. His forte is his working ability, nothing is too difficult, and he will keep going all day for you. And he will curl up quietly at your feet when nothing is happening.

In late August 1998 Socks moved to Perth, where he lives with and is co-owned by Steve and Kylie Munyard and Chrissie (A Golden Retriever). Socks went over for a visit, and didn't come home after Steve and Kylie fell in love with him. He is now competing in obedience and agility competitions with success.
