SBIS Ch Chelsea Drakkar of Oxford, FCh ROMX

There is no secret to the fact that Drake is our main man. What more is there to say about him after all? Through the years we’ve been lavish in presenting him to the Sighthound fancy. Yet again, his virtues are worth repeating. Drake is our stately, dignified gentleman. His virtues are many, highly prized, difficult to achieve and elusive to maintain. Importantly, he produces them. Drake is a smooth, big bodied, moderately boned stallion of a dog. His front is beautifully and properly angulated with luscious fill which affords him his strong free-moving style. His generous length and angles give him an elegant, houndy silhouette. He stands 21 1/4 inches tall. His sweet and tolerant nature makes him a pleasure to live with.

He was selectively shown, never extensively campaigned. At the peak of his career, he was exhibited a total of twelve times in 1992.

Drake died at 13 years of age due to complications from a brain tumor.
