Hero

Ch & Aus Ch Corydon Handsome Hero

Born 16/8/1977

Sire Ch Corydon Quinault – Dam Corydon Polyhanna

He was an outstanding show dog. He won 12 Challenge Certificates. Won a Group 1 and 2.

He was the sire of 2 UK Champions – Ch Corydon Polly Hera and Ch Akbenis Peter Piper.

We sold him to freinds in Australia where he gained his title in the minimum of 4 Shows. Each time he was Best in Show. Due to an argument with a co-owner he was only used at stud once but produced a champion. The Australian judge Mr H Spira who judged Best in Show at Crufts considered Hero to be better than his Crufts Best in Show winner. He really was that good.
