OD:  1, Oxley's   Ch Digelsa Don The One,  Great favourite of mine for many reasons, some of which are his great breed type,  

presence & style, super head, eye & ears, good coat & colour, young  handler should also be complimented for her ability to get the best out of her dog

Freeman wasn't just a show dog. He was first and foremost our family pet and had lots of fun in between shows he was the most wonderful friend and companion

It was very exciting to win Best of Breed with Freeman at Crufts in 1993. The BBC television crew just happened to be at ringside when Mr Richmond made the award and they all rushed in for a film clip and an interview.

On the day Freeman won his 22nd CC and broke the breed record I retired him from the showring.

He continued as an ambassador for the breed and attended many seminars until he was 12 years old.
