STARGUS SYNERGIE

TOP BROOD BITCH 2006

GINNY  is the proverbial ugly 'puppy' who turned into a beautiful Airedale. Our original thoughts were to keep her to bring in new blood to our line of successful males. It quickly became apparent that she would be a worthy show dog. We showed her as a puppy and she did well by winning her classes at Open and Championship shows.  She won Reserve Bitch Challenge Certificate at Crufts 2003.  Her next major win was CC and Best in Show at National Airedale Terrier Association Championship Show (Judge Top Handler and Terrier Man - Ernest Sharpe (Drakehall)).  She then went on to win her second CC and Reserve Best in Show at Midland Counties Airedale Show (Judge breed specialist - Martin Hacker  (Sheriff))- followed by a further Reserve Best in Show at South of England Airedale Terrier Club.  During this period she was bred from twice but unfortunately developed pyometra and was spayed the day after exhibiting at Crufts 2005.  She is now enjoying retirement with a lovely family that includes two children who adore her. 

She is the dam of Ch Stargus Devil's Due, Stargus Devil Rebel, Stargus Devil Doll, Ch Stargus Devil's Disciple (Spain); Ch Stargus Devil's Pleasure (Belgium) and Stargus Devil's Moll ( Japan).
