In 2005, Pete (at 9 years old) had to give way to his younger kennel mates - Pete won Best Veteran (7-10 years) under Sheelin Cuthbert (Ballyduff, UK) at the LRCV Champ Show; in 2006 he was Best Veteran (10+ years) under Ewa Neilsen (Sweden).
In March 2009 Pete passed away under the anaesthetic after surgery to remove a splenic tumour. He was always such a happy dog, a wonderful show dog, was everybody's friend and I still miss him.
