Multi Best In Show
Am. Can. Ch. Cadell De Montjuic

Can. Mex. FCI Int. Ch. Pinzell De Montjuic x Am. Ch. Fianca De Montjuic

     Cadell is probably the best dog that we have had the pleasure of owning to date.  He came to us in 1993 after obtaining his Canadian championship for his breeders, Susie Wilson-Carroll of Hapi-Dal kennels and Benito Vila of De Montjuic kennels in the U.S.A.  In 1995 we sent him to the U.S. to obtain his American championship.  In 1996, Cadell was looking promising as a dog we could campaign for top Dalmatian.  We entered him in one set of shows that February just to see how he would do.  We hired Hugh Middleditch, a local professional handler, to show Cadell for us.  Cadell won his first Best In Show that weekend, defeating over 800 dogs, a very large show by Canadian standards.  That show set the stage for the rest of the year.  Cadell continued to win three more Best In Shows as well as many group 1sts and other group placements and by the end of the year, defeated over 3200 dogs.  His record as #1 Dalmatian in Canada has yet to be defeated.  He is now 11 years old and still a puppy at heart.  His picture is on our Intro page.

Retired!

On August 3, 2002, Cadell went to his final show. It was the National Specialty held in Calgary Alberta. Although the specialty was small compared to some, spirit and camaraderie was high. The spectators were fantastic and cheered for all of the veterans like they had all just received a Best In Show! We truly appreciate everyone's good wishes, thank you for making Cadell's last appearance truly memorable.

Cadell is second in line and came in second but had tons of fun!

As you can see Cadell is still young at heart! At 11 1/2 years of age given the right circumstances you can still see the show dog in him! He is proof that you can take the dog out of the show but not the show out of the dog! Over the last year we have seen age catching up with Cadell but even with failing eyesight he still outmoves everyone at home!
