Sh Ch Tycarreg Sparks Fly JW ShCM (Evan)

Penwest Pelham at Tycarreg x Roses in the Snow
 

We pay tribute to Evan, our much loved Sh Ch Tycarreg Sparks Fly JW ShCM, who gave us so much pleasure during his life at home and in the show ring. He leaves progeny and grand-progeny to continue the success of this kennel. Kind comments we have received about Evan:

‘He was a one in a million dog and those special moments will be with you forever’
‘He has left a legacy of lovely children and grandchildren’
‘What a fantastic ambassador for the breed and what a legacy he has left behind’
 

A kind and gentle dog who besides having a special place in our hearts gathered many friends and admirers worldwide. Thanks to everyone for their kind words and thoughts at such a sad time when we lost him to illness.
 
Evan burst onto the show scene on his very first outing at Mid Western Gundog in October 2001 where he gained Reserve Best Puppy in Show under Frank Kane.

‘…beautiful baby with superb lines and soundness, giving almost 6 months away here, but watch out for him.’

 
Barbara Critchley judged the breed classes at Mid Western. Here are her comments:

‘…Just 6 months, stood out for his quality, super balanced body, flowing lines, presented a very pleasing picture, grand head, neck, shoulders, superb quarters and width of second thigh, correct tail, was so full of himself on the move but did settle enough to show his effortless stride and drive which I expected to see from his conformation. Loved him and shall watch his career. RBPIS.’
 
He went on to win two BPIS, two RBPIS, two Junior Stakes, his Junior Warrant and a Reserve CC. Along with many BOBs and Gundog Groups, and a major milestone… Best in Show at the 2003 Irish Pointer Club Championship Show.

He achieved these wins under both breed specialists and all-round judges. Evan has sired exceptional litters including Championship Show winning progeny, some gaining Junior Warrants, Reserve CCs and CCs.
 
Evan won four CCs, four reserve CCs to add to his 3 Green Stars. He also gained his Show Certificate of Merit.

Known for his excellent temperament which he passed on to his offspring as well as his winning ways.
