Non Pedigree Veteran Neuter 1 entered 1 Rices HOMER (18 years) I was impressed by the condition of the lovely black and white lad when I judged him and thought him to be (according to my book) 8 years old.

He has a gleaming jet black coat with just a few white hairs, sparkling white toes on his front feet, socks on his back and a white bib and chin. He has the most attractive white flash down his nose.
