Ch Twinroc Caesar's Cadet  "Caesar"

Caesar was born in 1971.  He was 8 years old in this photo.  He was an important Cardigan in his day.

Caesar's Story:

As I mentioned Ch. Twinroc Caesar's Cadet was an important dog;  not only to
our program, but we would like to believe he was also important to the breed.
Caesar gave us Ch. Checkmate Bounty Hunter owned by Bob and  Sherry Caldwell. 
CH Checkmate Bounty Hunter  made a mark as a top stud dog.  Caesar also sired
Ch. Twinroc Wam-bam Thank U Ma'm,  another great producer. 
 
Caesar himself, was out of Ch. Halmor Caesar and  was a grandson of
 Ch. Springdale Droednoeth on this dam's side. He won either two or three
Stud dog classes at the Nationals. 
 
 Born in 1971, he was a top winning Special who later gave way to Ch. Eastwyn
Miss Friendly, although the year we specialed them against everyone and each
other, he actually beat her more than she beat him!  I admit the reason we
did that was we were trying to win some specific awards offered by the club
based on the number of club points you earned.
 
 At that time, if you owned the Best of Breed dog you received 16 points and if
you owned the Best of Opposite dog you received 15 points.  That meant that if you
owned both you would win 31 points.  Happily, they often went Breed and
Opposite.   That  year we won several club awards.   We never tried that
strategy again. 
 
Caesar lived a long life and made it to 15.   During all that time he never was ill or
out of sorts.  He was my first big winning champion and I will never forget him.
