“Robin” has been a breeder's dream come true, completing both his American and Canadian Championships at less than two years of age. During that period, he also found time to become certified as a working Police K-9 specializing in Human Remains Detection and Mantrailing. He is truly an exceptional combination of elegance and working ability, living up to his name as a 'Super Hero.'

"Mary and Robin on patrol"

Robin started his show career with a bang, by earning Reserve Winners Dog to a four point major from the 6-9 puppy class at the 2003 GRC of Western New York Specialty show. He followed this with three back-to-back major reserves from the puppy class at the Christmas classic shows in Cleveland, including the Cuyahoga Valley GRC Specialty Show. As a puppy he was always an over-achiever, earning many Best Puppy and Puppy Group placements.

By 11 months of age, Robin got serious about his show career, taking third place in both 9-12 sweeps and regular classes at the 2003 GRCA National Specialty Show. His first points came later that month at the competitive Wine Country Circuit in New York State. From that point on there was no looking back. He proved to be a true repeat offender, taking his second major win at the 2004 GRC of Western NY Specialty, and his third at the 2004 Wine Country Circuit. Robin is now a multiple group placing Golden, acquiring his first 7 SDHF points in just 4 shows.

Robin has been received equally as well in Canada. He completed his championship in only three shows, finishing with a BOB, and topping it off with a Group 2 the following day (his first as a move up!). Robin's wins in both the U.S. and Canada were always breeder-owner handled.

With drive that won't quit, self-confidence, intelligence, and a willingness to please, Robin has proven to be an exceptional working K-9. Starting his scent detection work at seven weeks of age, he has built a strong foundation and true passion for search and detection work. He currently works as a K-9 Deputy with the Cattaraugus County Sheriff's Department in New York State along with his "partner" and fellow Deputy Mary MacQueen.

"Robin at 10 weeks"

Standing 23 1/2 inches at the shoulder and weighing in at 70 pounds, Robin proves to be a nice size boy who is not overdone. He is short coupled and carries a nice amount of bone. He has a full, thick medium-gold wash-and-wear coat, along with coal black pigment year round. Robin has full dentition and a scissors bite.

Robin corners the market on movement. Seemingly riding on a magic carpet, he covers ground effortlessly, and is extremely light on his feet. With impressive reach and drive, his strong topline remains dead level even on the go. Robin is clean coming and going, has a lovely layback of shoulder, and correct angulation both front and rear.
