When Rebecca mated her bitch to
Max we all knew that the docking ban would be in force by the time the puppies
were born and so they would need to be left with their tails on. We didn’t have
any bitches due to be mated and yet we were keen to get an undocked Boxer as
quickly as possible so that we got used to having them early on. As a result we
were very pleased when Rebecca and John brought the puppies up to show us and it
was a lovely litter. The Gibbons had already set their heart on a dog puppy and
he was promising but we told them in no uncertain terms that the bitch was the
pick of litter. No, they still wanted to keep the dog but they were keen for us
to have the bitch if we wanted her. We certainly did! Dilys was coming to live
at Winuwuk!
We loved this bitch from day one. When she hit the ring she quickly made her
presence felt and had a great puppy career the highlight of which came at the
Working Breeds of Wales when she became the first undocked Boxer to win a big
green card when Jeff Luscott awarded her Best Puppy and the Reserve CC.
More Reserve CCs followed from Carol Schofield at the Essex, Martin Wyles at WELKS and Stuart Lockwood-Brown at Richmond and she was often in the final few for the CC,
pressing hard. Judges have always appreciated her excellent balance, her lovely
outline with excellent forehand, her beautiful neck and her short back. She also
moves particularly well, really digging off her powerful hindquarters and with
very good reach in front. She has a lovely head with beautiful expressive eyes.
It was only going to be a matter of time before CCs came her way and her
breakthrough came on a great day for us at Midland Counties 2009 when Gill Davies gave
her a first CC, doing the double with her father on the day. In March the
following year, Jeff Luscott reaffirmed his opinion of her when he gave her the
CC at Essex and Eastern Counties where referee Judy Alton also made her BIS. Her
title came a month later at Birmingham National under Fearn Pynegar where she
was also BOB and went Group 3 under Terry Nethercott. Making Dilys up into our
22nd UK Champion will always be an emotional memory for us since she was the
last Champion made up under the ‘Ward-Davies, Brown & Hutchings’ banner since
Marion died the following weekend. Marion knew we had made it with Dilys - we
spoke about that show when we last visited her in hospital – and she was
thrilled.
A few months after she was made up, we won another couple of CCs with Dilys – under Jan Baxter at SKC we were thrilled to do the double again with her and her dad, then at East of England Wendy Brooks put her through to the CC. In 2011 she picked up RCCS from Ann Wildman at East of England and Sandra Carter at the BBC. Her final CC was on home ground at the Cotswold under Kevin Young, where she was also BIS.
