Owner-handled, Tyson and I accomplished…

  • Multi AKC Best of Breed winner
  • AKC Best in Specialty Show winner
  • AKC Grand Prize Sweeps winner
  • Finished with 3 majors at 19 months
  • Multi UKC Best in Show winner
  • International championship earned in 3 straight shows, undefeated in the breed ring
  • Multiple agility titles in AKC and CPE
  • Versatility Excellent title
  • DPCA Register of Merit (ROM)
  • DPCA Inaugural Year Legacy Award recipient
  • DPCA Sire of Four ROMs

Tyson was the red male I always wanted. He was a smart, funny, energetic, loyal, and just a big red lovable guy.

Tyson wasn’t one of those mature puppies and while he was shown as a puppy on a very limited basis, he only had 1 point from the 6-9 class. By May of 2006 he had matured enough to make him competitive so in May I brought him out to get him finished. From May 1 to Aug 31 Tyson was in 23 shows. He finished with 17 points and 3 majors – all points owner-handled.

Tyson is red #7 (no dilution), 28 inches, 98 pounds, MSU Thyroid normal, VetGen VWD Carrier, OFA Excellent, Echo normal (2008, 2009, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014), Holter normal (2009, 2010, 2012, 2013, 2014).
