Charley, the first of our Happyblack Labradors was originally purchased as
a family pet albeit one with an excellent and interesting pedigree.
Charley’s sire is Guy Spagnolo’s black dog of
fine breed type Aust. Ch./NZ Ch. Croftsway Touch of Frost
(Imp NZ, “Macki”). Charley’s dam was Pabulum
Miss Vienna a chocolate bitch of substance owned by Dr Katie
Syms of Dural. Being bred only twice in her lifetime, Vienna
had the fine Poolstead, Charway, Lawnwood and Timspring English
bloodlines closely behind her.
Charley’s robust and muscular physique and his steady
yet adventurous personality makes him ideally suited to both
obedience and agility. Post-show title we have worked on
the high fitness level required and he has both a surprising
turn of speed when motivated and a high degree of agility
for such a big boy.
He loves the excitement and hype of the agility course and
the thrill of the hunt – fishing for minnows in the
lagoon or hunting for water dragons in the creek – Charley
would be very much the ideal working gundog in times gone
by.
