Tripper,
what can I say about this little boy who only wants to please. Tripper's
show career was short but phenomenal. Tripper finished his championship
at 12 months old from the puppy classes in April 2003. He didn't stop
there either, he continued to special during the year winning several
group placements and getting an invitation to the Eukanuba
Classic!
2004
was even better! Tripper stayed out in the field and managed to win
more group placements and reach the level of NUMBER 5
in the country to receive another invitation to the Eukanuba
Classic AND to the prestigious Westminster
Dog Show in Madison Square Gardens. I am so proud of
all the heart and soul he put into showing, he really loved being in
the ring. He has since retired from the show ring and now gets the satisfying
pleasure of being daddy to some very cute puppies. His first litter
of babies has already started out well with reserve wins and majors
at only 6 months old.
Tripper
obtained his greatness with a lot of help from Lara Spears. Lara handled
Tripper predominately after he completed his championship and if it
weren't for her dedication to showing and love for my little boy, I
don't think he would have accomplished as much as he did, after all,
in the show ring it requires a partnership between the person and the
dog, without one or the other, specialing a dog is impossible. Thank
you Lara for all you did for my little boy!!
