"This dog was 12 years old and was in such beautiful
condition, a credit to his owner. His head was so full
of kindness and his overall construction indicated that
here was a dog who had been to the top of the tree when
in the show ring. I duly did my critique, saying what a
lovely type of dog he was. I gave a pat and a hug and
thanked the owner for bringing him. Not recognising the
owner I asked who the dog was whereupon he said it was
INT. CH Rocheby Royal Oak and he has bought him just to
let people see how well he was. As we all know Royal Oak
was one of our top dogs of the early 90's and one of our
top sires. He was in sparkling condition and it really
made my day complete." :- Mr. L. Brabban (Cambremer, U.K.)
Sept, 2001 (Royal Oak was entered as "not for
competition" at the Exposition Nationale d'Elevage of
the Retriever Club de France.) quoted from the The
Labrador International Newsletter Winter 2001.
