Washington (we lovingly call him Squash) is from our first Russell litter (Heath & Savvy). He achieved his Championship title at just 10 months of age and his Grand Champion title at 12 months, and at 15 months of age he sealed his International Champion title with two Best In Shows and a Reserve Best In Show.

He is our first home-grown Champion / Grand Champion / International Champion (completely Owner Handled), and we love him to pieces.

Along this journey, he has earned many Best of Breeds, Best of Opposites, as well as Group Placements (both Variety and Owner Handler) in addition to his Best In Shows and Reserve Best In Shows. He also earned his AKC Temperament Test Title (ATT) and his Owner Handled Platinum Title.
