So Who Is Sisco?

I've written so much about Zalu and really his sable daughter to Kaiah is still the dream dog, but Sisco is no second fiddle! I mean this dog is not a .. "Oh he'll do then!"  If anything he is a dog with more of a breed record and more successful progeny, but he is older.  He's a dog I looked at for Sammi last time, and also considered for Kaiah. Sisco took my breath away when he won his class at Crufts last year, I said then and maintain now that he really should have won the CC that day. He was V1  British Adult Sieger in 2016 and he made breed history in the UK this year by siring both male and female British Adult Siegers - Xibor Chase and Natalie di Casa Gregori. Sisco was the Arden Grange/Our Dogs Top Producing UK Sire of 2018. (Based on progeny success not the amount of progeny)
As I'm sure you've guessed Sisco was imported from Italy and now lives near Nantwich, he has successful progeny In Italy as well as in this country. His son Jumbo Mater Domini was also imported from Italy and is a top winner and producer in this country.
His owner gave me the option to use Chase or Sisco as Sammi's reputation as the mother of that "Top bitch" had preceded her .. thanks to JT who to be fair has always been at me to use Sisco "on the mother" .. and that without seeing Sammi!  He said in his opinion that Kaiah was the best bitch here since "Camri" (Nikki to you and me) and probably even better than her .. indeed a compliment from the man who handled Nikki and chose her as pick of the litter all those years ago. JT has seen Sammi since and was less gushing about her but did say that mother and daughter are very much alike!
So here we go again now .. waiting for a season and hoping it doesn't clash with Christmas .. can we not cancel it .. just for this year?
