'Green's Caldecacre Cordeiro Tajada - 8 months puppy, full of life & sound temperament, nice head. good reach of neck well set into shoulders, well bodied, in good condition for a youngster, evenly marked, moved very well - BP & BOB'
- John Dyer (Judge)

Luca was always smaller than his littermates and was slower to develop, hence he looked slightly 'odd' from time to time! The pic below is one of his first, taken at only a week old. Sara and Tim thought he looked like a children's character called 'Lamb Chop'! (Of course this was well before my time, so I can't comment!!!)......
Anyway, this became his nick name, he was from that moment on known as 'Lamb Chop'!
When giving the puppies their KC names we decided to chose variations on 'Cadhla Cadencia' which means 'Beautiful Rhythm'. However, we couldn't resist calling Luca 'Caldecacre Cordeiro Tajada', which sounds quite posh but in actual fact means Lamb Chop!!! Silly name I know - but we couldn't resist!
