Here is a link to an ACD Magazine (ACD Spotlight) that describes this awesome dog: http://issuu.com/acdspotlight/docs/finalaugspotlight2/63?e=2007676%2F4584653 At just 4 years old, Freddy came in first place and was the first French ACD to reach IPO III.

I read the article and I find it interesting that, in order to obtain the French title of "Champion," he had to do what dogs do not have to do in the US. He had to pass several health tests and a herding instinct test. (I assume testing would be different depending on the breed and what they were originally bred to do.) And then for an ACD to achieve an IPO3 on top of that is very impressive! I personally like the idea that a Champion should have more qualifications than just being able to trot around a ring and look pretty. I know many conformation exhibitors who would disagree with me.
