**RUNNER-UP BEST IN GROUP THREE SHOWS IN A ROW **

**and BEST AUSTRALIAN BRED EXHIBIT IN SHOW **

 

In the 2005 NSW State PointScore, Caruso finishes as First Place Dogue !!

In the 2005 National Pointscore, he places 3rd Overall and 2nd Male in Australia !

 

Since not showing during October and November due to moving house, we are thrilled to bring Chewie out in December and have him win Runner-up Best in Group again, and at one of Sydneys main metropolitan show grounds, Castle Hill.

 

Introduction

 

Chewie has matured into a magnificent male dogue. He has many beautiful characteristics which make him a stunning boy, and with a loving personality to match.

 

His face is masculine without being too bull-doggy, his head is large with good proportions and an abundance of wrinkles, which continue down his neck to across his shoulders. He has a very muscular body, and a strong muscular rear-end, with good angulation and correct straight hocks.  He is straight in the front and has a good broad chest. His muscle tone and wrinkles are highlighted by a very healthy coat which is shiney, short and soft. 

 

Chewie is 6 yrs old, 26.5 inches tall and weighs around 68kg. He has been tested with a fantastic hip score of 6 and elbows 0:0 and is available for stud to selected health tested bitches.

 

We are proud of his achievements, the most exciting of which follow:

THREE RUNNER-UP BEST IN GROUPS and BEST AUSTRALIAN BRED EXHIBIT IN SHOW

We are very proud of Chewie for achieving three Runner-Up Best Exhibits in Group at three NSW shows in a row, including at a major Sydney metropolitan show ground, Castle Hill.  And to then go on and win Best Australian Bred in Show at one of the shows.

Dalwood International Show - Intermediate in Group and Best of Breed

Nor-West Canine Assoc - Intermediate in Group and Best of Breed

It is not unusual for dogues to be awarded classes in Group such as Puppy and Junior, but once they advance to Intermediate, it becomes more difficult to stand out alongside other mature dogs who are among the best of their breed, especially at Dalwood under a European judge.   Chewie is one of only a couple of dogues ever awarded at this level by an International Judge.

Star of Television

Chewie was chosen by Saatchi & Saatchi to be the Face of Olympus. He is the star of their $2mil advertising campaign for the new Waterproof/Shockproof Digital Camera.

Keep an eye out for the commercials on TV and point-of-sale advertising in camera shops. 

He was chosen for his good looks and beautiful personality, it was important that the dog be well adjusted, good with crowds and strangers.  Saatchi's said that Chewie was a dream to work with, at the product launch he was a well behaved gentleman, loving the attention and photos shoots.  And NO, they don't slobber that much. Like in Turner & Hooch, the slobber is fake.
