Neal finished his Championship at 2 1/2 with a Specialty major under a breeder-judge. Neal is a gentle, big moving dog.

He started having success early in the breed ring winning a Best in Puppy Sweeps at the Kansas City Specialty and his first major at 14 months old. Always breeder/owner handled.

Neal joined a new family in December 2007. Helen and Gerard aim to make Neal a therapy dog. He will spend time traveling from a winter home in Florida to a summer home in Western New York.
