About Forest
Completing his championship title at 17 months old, within six shows, with all majors (except one point) all owner handled, Forest is a stunning example of the breed. With points toward his grand champion with two champion defeats, and a group third, his future is looking incredibly bright. He has a fantastic pedigree behind him. His personality is high energy, medium drive, friendly and gentle.
