Cowboy's pedigree is a line-breeding which brings together top Welsh, UK and Finnish import lines in combination with some of the best established American lines. In 2005 at 12 mos old, Cowboy traveled with us to Wales and we visited many of the places where his breed originated.

He has a nice outline, good bone and angulation, a handsome blue-black coat with a dark undercoat and excellent overall 'typiness' handed down to him from both of his parents. At his first shows he was awarded Best of Opposite Sex to Best in Breed (BOS) and Best of Winners (BOW).
His first show and his first points, 6 mos old.
Unfortunately asymmetry in his front upper arms, which developed as he matured, has held him back in the show ring, but has not held him back when is comes to his athleticism and the joy he gives us in many other ways. We continue to seek a suitable partner to improve on this fault and compliment him as he has several other fine qualities to offer.
