Oscar earned his AM CH title at age 5+ years! He earned all of his minor points and a 5-point major in his first 5 weekends out. Then it was just a matter of time to get that last major (he also had 2 major reserves in that time). All said he still finished his title in 1 year starting at a not so young age! This is a great accomplishment for any dog PLUS - to the best of our knowledge Oscar is the first ever blue natural eared Dane (non US bred) to get the US CH title

Critique from Oscars Finishing Judge, Mrs Ashe

Thank you so much for the note, Solvi...it was a pleasure to see your Oscar move around the ring...what a lovely dog to be of such size and move so fluidly and lightly on his feet..just as a good Dane should:)....I am proud to have been a part of his becoming an AKC Champion and wish you all the best with his get. ...not many Danes can move like he does, that's for sure!!!

Accolades from Fellow Blue Breeders

This one is very special. coming from the owner of Casey, the FIRST natural eared blue Dane to gain his AM CH title

Solvi
Biggest Congratulations on Oscar's Championship. I will gladly turn over Casey's longevity records to you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ch. Sterling's Blue Chariesis (Ch. Willowrun's Gulliver v. Wysiwyg x Lazy Days Good Golly Ms Molly) Casey held the record for 6 years and 9 months, he finished his championship on 6/26/96. (age 3)

He will be 10 years old on 5/21/03 and we are hoping for the biggest birthday party ever.

Best Wishes, hopefully though, there will be more blues this year (natural eared too) to add to our numbers.

Congratulations and heartfelt gratitude for your persistence!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
