We miss the dogs that have left us but feel very honoured to be able to carry on the strong bloodlines and DNA. Having some of their semen frozen means, we can see past dogs living on in future litters.
I have done mostly what most men do,
And pushed it out of my mind;
But I can’t forget, if I wanted to,
Four Feet trotting behind.
Day after day, the whole day through —
Wherever my road inclined —
Four-feet said, “I am coming with you!”
And trotted along behind.
Now I must go by some other round, —
Which I shall never find —
Somewhere that does not carry the sound
Of Four Feet trotting behind.
Tuff was breed from Topguards Ronnie and Shushi. He was a strong correct male with great presence and took his job of home and family guardian very seriously. Tuff produced some great offspring such as Topguards Hugo and Topguards Hippo who is mother to Topguards Ruff. We are lucky to still able to breed to his sire Topguards Ronnie via frozen semen and we also have his half-brother and sister in Topguards Slug and Topguards Nugget.
Ronnie was a great male with tremendous bone and movement and superb nature around the family. He produced some amazing dogs over the years such as Topguards Simba, Topguards Tuff and Topguards Slug to name just a few. We are lucky to still be able to breed to him via frozen semen.
Charlie was a legend in his own right, his size conformation and character were outstanding. Still to this day, we’ve never seen a head quite like his, or the sheer volume that he carried without it compromising his movement. Charlie had an appraisal score of 94.75%.
