Supreme type much admired in Europe! Litter brother to Tazz, Neth CH Bibi and Uncle to JWW, Intl, Neth CH Toezzz and Eur, Intl, Neth CH Calaix. Hugo was the resident giant at Moloscyg standing 27 inches tall and weighing 74kg. To those who knew him well though he was a georgeous man with a great soul well known for his stable temperament!

Hugo had a very limited show career but holds 6 major Royal Challenges (2 x BOB, 4 x RuBOB) and is therefore largely titled on Royal Challenges and at this level was the most awarded male in Australia. He retired from the ring early - he just did not see the point in prancing about.

Despite limited litters he has proven an excellent sire consistently producing sound, well conformed and typical offspring. He presently has a very promising son (from frozen semen) being shown in the US. There are hopes to include Hugo in some breeding programs in Holland through exported frozen semen. He has thrown strong toplines, good fronts and short, typical heads in many of his offspring. Hip and elbow scored and heart tested Normal. He provided us with many outstanding bitches to continue our kennel lines with.
Most recently his influence can be seen in his Grandson Elvis and we expect to continue to utilise his blood and attributes in the future in our kennel via frozen semen.
Pictured above with his sister Tazz and later at 6 years of age. He passed away February 2005.
