Hobbe was one of Frisco's (Swed Sh Ch Westerner Blowin' Free) many successful offspring. Of course I wanted a son of Frisco on my own - well, in the end I had two, as Findus (Swed Sh Ch Westerner Hi-Flyer) is a son of Frisco. Hobbe was born in August 1995 and moved home to us a four months old puppy at Christmas the same year. That puppy was in a many ways always a puppy, but if you move home to daddy maybe that is to be expected?

The official show career had a great start! Two CC's at his first two champion ship shows, at the age of eleven months! He also later on became Swedish Show Champion and also some BOB-wins in hard competition. Hobbe was, together with his dad, the only Swedish bred parti coloured cockers at the top 20-list 1998.
