I got Ace from the late Pat Jones of  the famous Cartmel Kennels in the UK.  He had been best puppy in breed at Cruft's 2007.  He came to live at  Bentarsna in 2008, and when Pat died suddenly, it was to honour her memory, for all her great achievements, dedication, hard work, and love of the breed, that I decided to get Ace back into show coat late last year and campaigned him earlier this year (2011).  He gained his Irish title with ease.  He is now retired from the show ring, clipped back and enjoying life.  He has been hip scored under the BVA scheme and his result is 6:7 Total 13.    Thanks you Pat for letting me have Ace, he is a wonderful dog, with a wonderful personality and we love him to bits. Thank you also Pat for all your help and advice you have ever given me with this breed.  RIP.
