Latest heart test clear July 11. "Redemption" is continuing to do well and has recently swopped onto a "natural foods" diet which has suited him tremendously as he enters middle age - hard to believe he is six and a half ( dec 11).
He is still at stud and is stored for A.I.
I am delighted to say that his son Ch Rainster Rory has ended 2011 as top winning wolfhound in the UK with 11 CCs and 8 BOBs plus group placements at championship shows. Another well known son Solstrand Arthur Ardfuaill has sired the breed's youngest champion ch Mascotts Another Stripe. Both these good dogs are siring top quality puppies in their own litters, excelling in bone and shape and character.
