Yesterday I got by post a finnish dog magazine called ShowRingNews. There was an article about ten best showdogs of this year. Here is what was said about Benton One More Duck Usko:

10th place:  The Welsh Springer Spaniel Benton One More Duck pretty much dominated the FCI group 8 this year. He had a nice summer BIS from allrounder  judge Paavo Mattila in Ristiina, but besides that he took a lot of group wins and many BIS placings. Usko seems to always be on good mood and he carries himself with pride and moves with an easiness that is a pleasure to see. He is handled by either the happy owner Hannele Pakkala or the breeder, Marjo Jaakkola. Usko ended up at number 10, a very nice accomplishment from a young dog.
