EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the elegance and grace of Show Champion Hornshill Duke, a Sussex Spaniel, in the prime of his show career in 1958. Owned by the renowned dog fancier, Wigg, this majestic canine exudes confidence and poise as he proudly poses for the camera. The rich autumnal tones of the leaves in the background perfectly complement the Sussex Spaniel's lustrous coat, adding a sense of warmth and richness to the image. The Sussex Spaniel is a rare and distinctive breed, known for its distinctive features, including its dense, wavy coat, expressive eyes, and distinctive "otter-like" gait. This breed was originally bred for hunting, and their excellent sense of smell and agility made them invaluable companions for hunters in the English countryside. Show Champion Hornshill Duke's impressive achievements in the show ring are evident in his regal posture and proud expression. His success in the 1958 show season solidified his place in the history of the Sussex Spaniel breed, and he went on to sire numerous champion offspring. This photograph is a beautiful reminder of the deep connection between humans and dogs, and the enduring appeal of the Sussex Spaniel breed. It also offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when dogs were an integral part of rural life and the show ring was a place where breeders and enthusiasts could come together to celebrate the best of their beloved canine companions.
