Gideon
This is Ch. Gold Coast Gideon, by Ch. Gold Coast Richard Skyecrest out of Ch. Windflower’s Gold Coast. Let’s take a look at Gideon’s record:
- #3 Skye Terrier in 1984
- #2 Skye Terrier in 1985
- #2 Skye Terrier in 1986
- #1 Skye Terrier in 1987
Gideon won two all breed Best In Shows, with 41 Group Firsts, and a total of 155 group placements.
In 1987 Gideon won the first-ever Pedigree Award, given to the dog defeating the most dogs of its own breed in the show ring. He also was the top Skye in all-breed points that year.
Gideon’s children were no slouches in the ring, either, as you can see below.
