Belcroft Cocker Spaniels         

Thanks to Ronan's connections for allowing this delightful dog to come to Melbourne.

Ronan #1 Cocker in Australia in 2009 (DoLP BoB) 

Ronan loves to show and is recognised by his ever wagging tail.  Whilst with Belcroft, Ronan has achieved Best In Show, Runner Up Best in Show, Best In Group, Reserve Best In Group and multiple Class in Group awards in very strong competition.

His daughter Lola - Gr Ch Belcroft It's Showtime - made a splash with her debut in the show ring. Lola has since followed in her father's pawprints and was Australia's #1 cocker in 2010 & leads in 2011(DoL BoB)

His other daughter Rosie - Belcroft Stealing Time - struts her stuff for Best Baby Puppy in Show at her first outing and continued her winning ways, culminating as Australias #1 Rising Star cocker in 2010.

2010 started for Ro-schmo the way 2009 started - Best in Gundog group !

2009 started well for Ronan, with Best of Breed, Gundog Group short listings and multiple Class In Group wins.  Ronan took us to Runner Up in Show (CSCV) and Best In Show (CSCQ) and at one of the big Melbourne shows, he won Best in Gundog Group (Group 1st). 

In one weekend early September 2009 he won Best In Gundog group (BIG Group 1st ) under Mrs Betts (Canada) and followed with another BIG under Mr Betts and Runner Up in Show (BIS 2nd).

Ronan gave us a wonderful 2008, with memorable moments in the show ring and at home.
