About Archibald
A family companion who became a champion
Every family has a story, and ours begins with a special boy and an extraordinary dog. Our son David, who has Down syndrome, was visited by therapy dogs that brought him endless joy. Watching those moments, we realized just how deep his bond was with these wonderful animals.
After just a few training sessions, our trainer told us: “This dog is a genius. You should try the retriever sport with him.” What started as a family companion soon became a true champion, with 3 x CACIT, 2 x RCACIT, and over 100 puppies sired across Europe.
