Ch Nixtev Torvald

Erik has made a fantastic start to his show career, winning Minor Puppy Dog and being awarded Reserve Best Puppy in Breed and Reserve Best Puppy in Show at his very first show (GS Club of GB championship show), followed up by 1st PD, BPIB & RCC under German breed specialist Georg Walther at BUBA.
He ended his puppy career in style by winning Special Puppy Dog and BPIB Crufts 2013.
He has now made a great start in Junior by winning 1st in Junior Dog, CC and BOB at Birmingham National under judge Frank Kane.

Thank to Dale & Gary for helping out with his training and stepping in to handle him when needed.

As of May '14 Erik is now owned in partnership and lives with/handled by Bethan Williams, who at their first show together won his 3rd CC.
