UK Sh Ch Raycroft Socialite x UK Sh Ch Toyjoys Quest For A Star

February 1992 – September 2004

A special dog from the day we brought him home from Faith and Mick Gilham of the Topjoys kennels.

He won our hearts and those of many who got to know him.  He was our first successful show dog and started his time in the show ring as a puppy winning Reserve Best Puppy in Show at Hampshire Gundog Open show at his very first show, won his first RCC from the puppy class at 10 moths old. As a junior her won his first CC and was Best in Show at the Clumber Spaniel Club open show. And in 1994 won his third CC and UK title, becoming our first Champion in January 1994.

At home he was a super dog to live with. With Elliott, Caroline went to obedience classes and even competed in gundog working tests. He was Caroline’e soul mate and would always be there to put a head on your knee when you needed him.

Very dear in our hearts he gave us some special memories; our first Best in Show at Open show and Club open show, our first RCC, our first CC, our first Champion and most of proudly of all Best of Breed at Crufts 2000 which he won from the veteran class.

He sired several litters in his lifetime but was sire of our first and only Clumber litter to date from which we kept Georgia who became our first homebred Champion.
