Afterglow Miami Ink
Afterglow Miami Ink (born June 15, 2015)[1] received Crufts Best in Show title by Judge Jeff Horswell[2] on November 9, 2017.[3] The American Cocker Spaniel is handled and co-owned by Blackpool resident Jason Lynn and Rui Jorge Da Silva. He was bred by Michael Gadsby and Jason Lynn,[4] who were the first to have ever bred two Crufts Best In Show winners (the other one being Ch/Am Ch Afterglow Maverick Sabre in the 2014 Best In Show competition).[5] The dog does not have the typical gundog characteristics and as such his unconventional breeding “software” was criticized.[6] Over 22,000 dogs – from 56 countries[7] – competed in the four-day event which was held at the Birmingham NEC arena[8] and was attended by around 160,000 dog lovers/owners.[9] Other wins Afterglow Miami Ink has include: 8 March 1 place at Crufts in Group and Best in Show[10] and 4th place (in breed and group) at the World Dog Show in Germany.[11] In 2018 he retired and fathered four puppies.[12]
