I went down to North Carolina to visit Tyson’s breeder as well as attend a DPCA Working Aptitude Evaluation (WAE).  This was the last thing Tyson needed to get his Register of Merit (ROM) title.  The WAE is a temperament test sponsored by a DPCA Chapter Club.  I knew Tyson’s temperament well enough to know he would pass.  But in addition to needing to pass the test in order to get a ROM, I also felt I could learn something else about his temperament and nerve structure that I didn’t already know.

Tyson was the 2nd dog to be tested and he passed with flying colors.

He is:

1. an AKC Champion (owner-handled by me)
2. has a qualifying working title (Novice Jumpers Preferred (NJP) agility title)
3. he passed the DPCA Working Aptitude Evaluation (WAE)

So, he is now Ch. Talladega’s American Thunder NJP ROM!!!!

I am so proud of all we have done together, as a team.  Atta boy Tyson!

A big congrats to Susan Kershaw of Kerwynd Dobermans on her recent litter sired by Tyson.  The dam is “Charlie” Ch. Kerwynd Money Talks (she’s a litter sister to Ch. Kerwynd’s Easy Money who was WD/BOW at the 2005 DPCA National).  Charlie is the mom of 2 red boys and a red girl.

Congratulations to Liz Gentile of Dancing Star Dobermans on her most recent litter sired by Tyson.  The dam is her lovely “Ally”, Ch. Dancing Star’s Latin Sonata.  They are the proud parents of 4 black boys and 2 black girls.  All are doing well.
