MACH Gordon Hill Timeless "Lacey"

MACH Gordon Hill Timeless (Lacey)

2011

Congratulations to MACH Gordon Hill Timeless

and her trainer/handler Beth Szczygiel, owner Liz Gordon for finishing the incredible Master Agility Champion  (USA)in the fall of 2016.  Lacey is the most recent daughter of Cdn CF FTCH Bracadale’s DDG Buck to succeed in performance events!  Buck died in 2002 but with modern reproductive technology,  he was bred to Susie DeSilver’s  Dual CH, Amateur Field Champion, Indian Sky Gordon Hill Scout using frozen semen resulting in this talented girl.  Bracadale dogs continue to prove their intelligence and trainability thanks to folk who develop their talents.  Lacey has also won awards
with the Gordon Setter Club of America.  Well done team!

Additionally, Liz writes:  Lacey is the best girl to live with and she is wonderful with my two Scotties . . .  This I love to hear too.
