Dinky's saga with Labrador Retrievers started when his father bought him his first Lab at the age of two years old. While growing up, his father owned, bred and showed a variety of breeds with the German Shepherd Dog always at the forefront. 

Dinky has been shoing dogs for as long as he can remeber. As early as 4 years of age , he would often accompany his Father to the dog shows. They owned a German Short Haired Pointer, Phil Ch Weidenbach B's Mac V Jove CDX (USA) who is, on record, the 1st Sporting Dog to win Best in Show in 1973 and the 1st dog in history to become a Philippine Champion and a Companion Dog on the same day. 

Together with his father and siblings, he was also involved with Japanese Akita's, Bull Terriers, and German Shepherd Dogs before personally getting engrossed with the Labrador Retriever in 1988.
