Nigel was a favourite son at Branbern, and a favourite of judges as well winning no less than 5 All Breeds Best In Shows, plus countless Runner Up Best In Show wins & Group awards. He also won RUBISS at the 2009 BMDCV Specialty & won Best of Breed at Sydney Royal Show for 4 years running from 2007-2010.
Sadly Nigel died of bloat in February 2012 which was a massive loss to Branbern. He was a strong dog of excellent type & structure, a happy Branbern personality, and is sadly missed.
