Dam Ch. Alubyc Autumn Arwen 19-12-86 - 5-10-99 Rory Memoriam
Rory's most famous win as a 7 year old under Henric Frykstrand "Dewmist" at our Sept '93 Champ Show. He was capably handled by one of his breeders, Penny Palazzi.
My beautiful Ror was a once in a lifetime dog. Apart from his wins, he had the most charming character and was a joy to live with, we were totally devoted to each other and I miss him greatly.
Rory runner-up Best In Show
Rory was destined for success on his breeding alone, his parents each being one of the top winning goldens in our country. 2 dogs and 2 bitches from his litter gained their titles. His sister Ch. Gunarryn Lady In Red won 2 specialty Best In Shows. The other sister , Ch Gunarryn On Golden Pond won a specialty Res CC and his brother Ch. Gunarryn Call to Glory won a specialty CC and was a Best In Group winner. Brother and Sister winning both challenges under Karen Ericsson (Sweden). Once he gained his championship, Rory was only lightly shown, mainly at champ shows and Royals. Rarely unplaced, he gained 4 specialty CC's, with 2 Best In Shows, 2 Res CC's, and a Royal Best Of Breed where the judge described Rory as "world top class". His first Best In Show was still as a Junior and his last CC was at 7 years. Although not a flashy moving type, Rory possessed outstanding forehand movement which is something to be desired in the breed.
Winning Best In Show under Val Birkin (Sansue). Both Val and I hated this photo of Rory as it doesn't look like him.
