Bishop was known for his really superb temperament and an exceptional head.  Both of these most desirable features have been passed on to his son Ch. Nineveh's Moses of The Rectory.

"Bish" was owner/handled to his Westminster win in 1981 and to his 1982 National Specialty Best in Show.  Then handled by Jim Rathburn in 1983 to become a multi Best in Show Dog with over 30 Group Firsts.

Such a nice guy to live with, such a super stud.  Bishop is a great ambassador for the breed and a model for the geriatric set.
