UK/American Champion Lindenka Delta, JW

Delta arrived on December 6th 2005. The second puppy to be born in Kerrygan’'s first litter of three. Just like his sire Brannigan, he was the only boy. Again I had no choice but it saves the worry of ‘"did I choose the right one?’"...

He did all the usual puppy things in the process of growing up but always was very eyecatching.

I took him to Ringcraft class at 4 months old and it was soon apparent that he knew more about it than I did so we didn’'t go again.

His first show was Three Counties Ch Show at Malvern, Worcs and the judge was Mr W.Browne –Cole. He won his first class and went Best Puppy in Breed. I had no idea what this would lead to…....
