"Dealer"

Grand Champion Hartwyn Dealers Choice CDX ET

"Dealer"

Hartwyn's first Grand Champion

Although the “D” litter of all males was bred to produce a girl, I couldn’t be more happy with my “Choice” who has brought our home lots of happiness with his exuberant and happy nature.

Unfortunately his exuberance caused an injury, which for a Hartwyn, cut his career short at 6 years.

Dealer is line bred to our foundation bitch “Dual Champion Penzance Blue Gytha AOC” and he continued as our stud dog that produced good sound stock of excellent type and temperament.
