It is with great sadness we report that Liz Dunhill and family have lost one of the great ambassadors, Ch Fantasa Ginger Bread Man (Alfie), aged 11 and a half years old.

Alfie was bred and owned by Liz. He was made up into a UK Champion in three straight shows, making him the quickest UK Champion to date, and overall winner of 18 CCs, Best of Breed at Crufts and a Reserve Best in Show winner all breeds Championship show. He was also the top Rottweiler in breed for 2002 and 2003.

Alfie was a kind natured male, who always helped share the babysitting duties at home, including a litter of Shiba Inu puppies over the Christmas period one year!

A very much loved friend of Liz and her family, who are missing him very much. He leaves behind a legacy of children, grandchildren and great grandchildren, most already UK Champions.
