THE GREAT PAPILLONS FROM THE PAST (by Vesa Toivanen)

Ch Tussalud Storyteller (Disney).

In 1994 he won CCs at Southern Counties, Windsor and SKC, and became a champion, and in ’95, ’96 and ’97 he took BOB at Crufts, making ’96 a memorable career moment when he went on to win the toy group. The only other Papillon to achieve three BOB at Crufts in consecutive years was Ch Pierre of Oakridges, owned by Ellis Hulme, in ’74, ’75 and ’76.

During his career Disney, owned and bred by Kay Stewart, took 29 CCs (26 with BOB), six groups and four BIS at breed championship shows. He is the male breed CC record holder. He was top Papillon in ’95 and ’96, DOG WORLD top stud dog in ’97, ’98 and ’99, and was awarded the Papillon (Butterfly Dog) Club’s top stud annual trophy in ’98. In ‘96 and ‘97 he won the UK Toydog Society’s top dog competition.
