AKA Freddie, (pictured above at 10 months of age), he is the only Swedish Champion Yorkshire Terrier (and only the second Swedish Champion of any breed) to be imported into New Zealand. Freddie received his last point for his New Zealand Champion title during Easter weekend, 1997! Pictured here at ten months of age.
July 21, 1997 HEADLINE:
Swedish immigrant keeps on impressing judges.
BODY:
A Yorkshire Terrier from Sweden is turning heads in New Zealand. Freddie, imported from Sweden last November, won the Best of Breed title at the Hamilton Championship Dog Show at the weekend. Owner Carol Hayes, an Auckland breeder, says it's not the first time the 2-year-old has impressed judges in Hamilton. Back in March 1997, Freddie was named best Junior, of All Breeds, in the Hamilton Kennel Association's championship show. But champion in the making [sic] Freddie (Web masters note - Freddie is already a Swedish and New Zealand Champion!)-- whose official name is [Sw & NZ Ch.] Debonaire's Believe in Success --- is a real mummy's boy who is like a shadow at home. "He gets jealous when he sees other dogs getting attention," Mrs Hayes said.
The weekend show in Hamilton attracted 1600 entries judged by Ben Raven from England, Elaine and Lamar Mathis from Florida, Carl Lieppman of Missouri and Gloria Rhodes from Australia. .....snip
