Bravo finished his championship at 11 months of age!  He took the show ring by storm.  He qualified for the Eukanuba Classic in 2007 & 2008 as he finished from the "Bred-By" class.  He has a lovely head piece, nice front angle and forechest, and a delightful temperament.  He loves the show ring and chasing birds!!  

11/07 - Bravo went with me to the Sporting Dog show in Rio Rancho, NM.  He hadn't been in the show ring since he finished his championship 6 months ago so I was a little nervous....but he did awesome!  He was Best of Opposite Sex at the specialty (over 3 other male specials).  The next two days he made the cut! I was thrilled as he is only 16 months old.  We had so much fun together and we can't wait until Eukanuba in 3 weeks!!

12/1/07 - Bravo wins an Award of Merit at Eukanuba!!!!  It was a great win for him at only 17 months old.  He behaved beautifully and we had a blast.  Scroll down to see some pictures from the show.

April 2008 - Bravo goes to the Irish Setter National for his debut as a special.  He made the cut!!!  And....we got a lot of attention and nice compliments.  Sure was fun and I couldn't be more proud of him. See pictures of him at the National below.

11/1/08 - Bravo wins a Group 1 at the Sporting Dog show in Rio Rancho, NM!!!!
  It absolutely was one of the nicest wins I have ever had and Bravo was amazing!  Thanks so much to j. Ken Murray for the breed win and to Virginia Lynne for the group win.  I can't wait to see the official picture - hopefully it turns out!! Scroll down for some pictures taken at ringside.

12/14/08 - Bravo wins Best of Opposite Sex and Best Bred-By at Eukanuba!!!  What a great day we had - scroll down for some pictures.  Thanks to j. Robert Slay for a wonderful win!

3/13/09 - Bravo wins the Houston Specialty under J. Sue Melancon.  This was Bravo's first show with his new handler, Melissa Money.  I am so excited that Melissa is his new ring leader and I know she will do a great job with him.  First time out they win a specialty together - how fun is that!!

4/12/09 - Bravo wins a Group 2 in Stephensville, TX.  Thanks to j. Gale Young for a nice win!!
