Achievements

2 superb Champions!

Debra has made up two Champions in the breed - the first was her very first Gordon Setter, Sh Ch/Ir Sh Ch Hernwood Crystal Graphite. who became the first male English/Irish Champion and became top male in the breed.
She says, “He was a stunning dog and well known for his fabulous head and fantastic movement which gained him many admirers both in the breed and with the all- rounder judges. He certainly made an impression winning 21 CC’s and 17 RCC’s plus stakes classes including Champion Stakes and Gundog Group placings.”

The second dog Debra made up into a Champion was Sh Ch Kilnrae French Connection avec Ettrick JW who was a great great grandson of Crystal Graphite.
She says, “Wallace, as he was known, proved his worth at stud being top stud dog and producing a real stamp of type on his progeny both here and on the continent.”

The new addition…

Is only 5 months old and called Hernwood Achilles - a direct descendent of Crystal Graphite - in fact all bar one of Debra’s 7 Gordons go back to her very first Gordon.
