Ch Oakridge Waldemar ORA CD QC (IID DEU)
KS Ilex II von Neuarenberg (DEU) x Nora Anjules (DEU)
Hopeful for some exciting times ahead with young Nero, both in the show ring and working. He is already a multi Baby Puppy in Group, and Baby Puppy in Show winner. Nero is a laid-back, easy going, water and retrieving loving young dog.
And now a show Champion, at just one year of age!
A short introduction to trialling during 2021 saw Nero reveal some of his working talents, and I was quite excited to see what raw material there is that we can build upon. He obtained his QC without any trouble at all, and gained a minor placing at one of the few trials we competed in during his first trialling season. He gained his NRA title, competing during only half of the 2022 season, as well as achieving a number of retrieving trial placings, once again, during a foreshortened (for him) season.
Nero would have to be one of the most character-filled, happy dogs, who always wants to engage with you. He is such a pleasure to train, and a lot of fun to trial.
Just WOW!
Nero wins BEST IN SHOW at the Victorian GSP Club's 2023 Championship Show under respected FCI German judge, breeder, trainer and hunter, Mrs Antje Engelbart-Smith (vom Kronsberg Kennels).
It was such an honour to have my favourite boy so highly regarded by her.
This follows on from his previous success earlier in the year in Victoria under another FCI breed specialist judge, Mr Jeff Martin (Canada) who gave this critique of Nero:
"Beautifully put together male, lovely long strong muzzle, beautiful strong head, a little narrow in the eyes but lovely depth of chest, topline a tad longer in body than in height which is what you want, tailset is perfect, he moves beautifully, he is a really, really nice dog. He has got that bullet proof temperament. Other than being slightly over standard in height, he is a very, very nice mature male."
And amongst all of the above, Nero has also achieved in 2023:
1st place OPEN RATG competition at the 2023 GSP NATIONAL
1st place NOVICE OBEDIENCE competition at the 2023 GSP NATIONAL
Best Field Trial/Retrieving Trial exhibit 2023 GSP NATIONAL
Best Field Trial/Retrieving Trial exhibit GSPC VIC Championship Show
Best Obedience Trial exhibit GSPC VIC Championship Show
1st place NOVICE OBEDIENCE competition at Southern Districts obedience trial
Completed his Novice Obedience title in 3 straight trials
Completed his ORA (retrieving) title in 3 straight trials
His young progeny have also performed well during 2023:
Oakridge Aspenglow CD - CD title with three 1st placings, including one 200/200 score!
Ch Oakridge Africa - show title at 11 months of age, plus two passes towards CCD title
Oakridge Yoshi JC - Junior Lure Coursing title, and the award for fastest GSP courser in Australia!
JPN Ch Oakridge Yasmin - Japanesse show title
And now a show Champion, at just one year of age!
