Select Ch. Falco of Thunder Rock. I loved him to. He was the first champion
I ever saw in my life. We bred to him in February 1966. We got our first
homebred champion from him and an Ch. Hilgroves's Emo daughter. Saw him
going high select at the 1968 US National in N.J. What a beautiful dog !!!
One of my favorite one...

I LOVED FALCO OF THUNDER ROCK. May not have had the greatest shoulder in
the world but very adequate and so damn handsome! WOW! He was awesome.
I remember Connie and Danny's dog, If the competition had not been so
strong at that time this wonderful dog would have finished. He was a VERY
nice dog. Sandi Card
