Donovan gave me great pride and pleasure over his lifetime. He entered the show ring for the first time at six months of age in March 1994 and finished his championship in 5 shows. While still in the junior puppy class he won an I.W.C.C. Booster beating specials competition for Best of Breed. Shown as a puppy special he garnered 6 Best Puppy in Group and 1 Best Puppy in Show and Group Placings. He finished 1994 as the #2 Irish Wolfhound and #1 Puppy in Canada at 15 months of age. In 1995, shown just 45 times, he gathered 33 BOB (including the Queon Sighthound Specialty), 5 Group 1, 2 Group 2, 3 Group 3 and 1 Group 4, to finish #4 in the standings. Canadian television viewers may remember him from "Labatt's Blue Light" commercials. . Donovan passed away in August 2000.
