'Radar' is a lovely soft natured boy who has been very successful in the show ring he loves so much and although semi retired still enjoys flying the Tamballa flag at selected shows.
He made a promising start as a youngster in 2006 being awarded:
3 x BABY IN SHOWS , 5 x BABY IN GROUPS and many Sweepstakes wins.
He gained his Australian Champion title under 15 months of age winning many **MINOR IN SHOW** , **PUPPY IN SHOW** & **JUNIOR IN SHOW** awards along the way. The highlight of his early career was his *** BEST IN GROUP *** at 10 and a half months also taking **PUPPY IN SHOW** on the same day and starting off the next year with a **RUNNER UP TO BEST IN GROUP**.
When it comes to "the most fun you can have on your days off", Radar has decided to follow in his uncle Rory's pawprints and put his heart and soul into Lure Coursing. His passion paid off in July 2007 when he qualified to compete at the QLCA invitation races, won his section and became the only Beagle to have finished with the highest overall score of the day.
Winning the ** SHANNET TROPHY ** was a proud moment as well as a huge achievement for a "scent hound" when this sport was actually created for "sight hounds". He was well rewarded for doing something that he loves in only his first year of coursing. Radar has since excelled, has been NUMBER 1 in the breed for 4 years running and just keeps getting better.
