The puppies arrived in August and we were delighted with what we had. From the start two males stood out from the others and so we kept Lust in the Dust and sent his brother, Double The Scotch to Jillian Plant in New Zealand where he became an Australian and New Zealand Champion as well as a good producer.

Lust in the Dust started his show career extremely successfully. He was joint Top Puppy in 1997 and he was shortlisted for the CC on a couple of occasions from the puppy classes. His first CC and BOB then came the following year at Leeds where Frank Wildman put him through from a super entry at Leeds. However, from then on his show career slowed down and we did become a little disheartened. Ozzie was such a good overall Boxer with this terrific showmanship and fabulous movement that we couldn't quite understand why he was not getting through.

Mary Foan did give him a Reserve CC at Three Counties in 1999 and Yvonne Miller gave him another at the Mancunian Boxer Club in 2001, but tickets eluded him. However we refused to give up since we truly believed him to be a very worthy titleholder and our patience and perseverance was finally rewarded at the Scottish Kennel Club in August 2002 when Margaret Everton gave him the CC and Best of Breed.

We had not planned to go to the Irish Shows a month later, but with a second CC we decided that we had to go everywhere in search of the magical third so we banged off an entry and booked the ferry. At the Irish Boxer Club on the Friday, we got nowhere but at Belfast on Saturday under Pam Broughton, Ozzie decided that it was his day. He put on a truly electric performance which we will remember forever and Pam gave him his third CC, a full 4 years and 3 months after his first. Pam's write up that day is one that we treasure. She wrote:

"This was his day. He has matured into an excellent Boxer and showed his socks off. He loved every minute of it. He has excellent angulation both ends, gun barrel front and tight feet. His head was (in my opinion) too strong as a youngster but he has grown into it and by some of the overdone heads I saw here today, his is now very good and he has the one thing missing in the entry, a wonderful expression. He motored around the ring and gave me no choice but to give him the CC"

Ozzie was a very special dog to us, with a superb personality, and he is proof positive that good dogs will always get through in the end as long as you have complete faith in them and don't give up. He died on 26 April 2010, a few months short of his 14th birthday, leaving us a wonderful legacy. Then on 6 August 2012, when his record breaking son Ch/Ir Ch Winuwuk Lust at First Sight won his 70th CC at Paignton, Ozzie became the TOP BOXER SIRE of all time having produced progeny which have won 130 CCs in the UK. This record was previously held by Ch Tyegarth Famous Grouse.
