GCH Istari Bellamy War At Dawn

From day one, Burke has been a dream come true. Not only did I have the pleasure of bringing home a “Christmas puppy” I always wanted as a child, but he was also none other than the son of my red boy Swayze who I always dreamed about having a puppy from. He has fulfilled so many dreams already at only under a year old including being a treasured family companion, to nearly winning all his 2025 ECSCA National classes, to winning a beautiful 5 Point Specialty Major the following week. Later, he won another 5 Point Specialty Major in August and a 4 Point Specialty Major in October 2025. For the final cherry on top, he finished his Championship in the best of ways by winning Winners Dog at the English Cocker Spaniel Club of America National Regional Specialty under Sporting Authority Judge Doug Johnson- a total dream come true!

I cannot thank his Breeder Kathleen Schultz Guzman for using Swayze with her pretty girl but also allowing me the pick male of such a promising litter. We are looking forward to what the future holds for “Baby Burke” in the Specials ring at select shows in 2026.
