News flash First PWD to go BIS at an All Breeds Championship Show in Australia. Konkkaronkan Finnish Dream at Gemson was born in Finland from an English Dam and an American bred sire. He travelled to England in 2001 and attended two shows The Portuguese Water Dog Club of Great Britain where he was awarded Reserve Best Dog from the Junior class and the Birmingham National Championship Show under Breed Specialist judge Mrs Carla Molinari where he again took the Reserve Best Dog from the Junior class. Eric was then sent to Australia on loan for some stud work and now has his Australian title accumulated several Group wins and now the first BIS for a portie down under - (all this and he is Brown too). Eric will be coming back to England in February 2003 and can be seen in the Crufts ring in March under Portuguese judge Dr J G Cabral.
