Thomas #1

Every dog deserves its own web page, none more so than Thomas.  This dog has provided such immense pleasure over the years not only in the show ring but in his delightful nature as a house pet.  Nowadays Thomas enjoys the lovely life of a retiree, keeping his harem in order and occasionally reminding the youngsters just who is still #1....

 

Thomas is Australia's breed record holder with over 50 Best Exhibit in Group,18 Best Exhibit in Show and 12 Runner-Up Best Exhibit in Show wins.  These wins have included Best in Group at Sydney, Melbourne, Hobart and Launceston Royals and Runner-Up at Adelaide (twice), Hobart (twice), Canberra and Lauceston Royals (twice) - including Best Exhibit in Show at Launceston Royal and Best in Show 4 at Melbourne Royal.  Thomas has also won Speciality Best in Show and Runner-Up Best in Shows and has sired Speciality winning progeny. He was several times Tasmania's Dog of the Year and Top Toy for Victoria including rating in National Dog's top 10 showdogs of the year.  An exceptional Pug whose best features are his head, front and movement, and these are the qualities he is passing on to his progeny.  A better Pug may be bred, but none will ever replace him.
