Lucky

Lucky is a once-in-a-lifetime dog, the one Paulo picked out the day he was born. He has brought us some of our happiest moments in the ring, winning the Dog CC and BOS at Crufts ’15 and also Best of Breed and 4th BIS at the Donaueschingen Festival of Sighthounds and Primitive Breeds. Our biggest achievement, however, has been making Lucky a UK Champion, after winning his 3rd CC in Manchester, January 2016.

1st, C.C. and Reserve B.O.B. Coelho’s Port/Gib Ch. Latin Lover Da Roseira Brava Fawn dog who is totally masculine but teeming with elegance and class. Excellent size and substance, curvy outline and well angulated but it is when this dog moves that you see how exceptional he is! For me he sets the ring on fire with his long, powerful stride.

1 Coelho’s Port Ch Latin Lover da Roseira Brava: star of the entry. Stylish, moderate and elegant fawn dog who impressed immensely, both standing and moving, with his symmetry of outline, ease of movement and faultless construction. In total unison with his unobtrusive handler, he never put a foot down wrong all day. Whippets usually are considered a “bitch” breed. To reward a male dog of this caliber with top honours was all the more satisfying. CC and BoB and thrilled to learn this gave him his British title.
