FIN Ch Wild Frontier Liam Devlin "Liam"
 04.05.2002 - 2008
Liam was only few minutes old newborn puppy, when I already knew, he is my choice. Few weeks older he still looked very promising in type and had a nice and easy movement. I was hoping he would continue to growing up so nicely, and so he did.
Liam was always happily playing with his litter sisters or exploring new things in the garden; Splashing in the large waterbowl was one of his favorit hobbies, when weather was sunny and warm. Also eating flowers, especially biggest colourful ones from my flower bed - Well, I was going to plant new flowers anyway at that summer when he was a puppy. ;-)
Liam was a happy and quiet boy, a real gentleman. He liked to explore things around the garden and play with some of our IW girls. He also enjoyed driving in a car and look at views around then. About long peaceful forest walks he also liked very much.
During years 2004 to 2005 Liam was shown only few times, but with excellent results:
He achieved some resCACs, two CACs and one resCACIB. He also few times placed 2nd or 3rd in the Best Male competition.

In the Finnish IW Club Specialty at 2005 Liam wonderfully placed to Best Male 2nd + got CAC, also won BOS Winner in the Open Class under judge Mr Fredéric Máison from France. Liam was then also was called by the judge to take part to the unofficial "Best Head" and "Best Movement" - competitions. Only the weather was awful, because it was raining a lot almost all time and a stormy wind was blowing... But no worrying, when otherwise the day was just perfect!

Liam completed his FINCh - title in the Tampere International Dog Show 2006.
There he won Best Male 2nd with CAC and resCACIB under judge Marja Talvitie, Finland. Well done, Liam!
Liam was a wonderful show dog, indeed. But first of all he was a nice boy, my faithful friend and a beloved member of our family.
Unfortunately we had to say goodbay for Liam all too early in the spring 2008 because of quickly developing bonecancer.
I will always remember my gentle golden boy - He was special.
