It was such a neat experience for
us having our Tucker in the ring
with so many outstanding dogs.
This was our very first National.

On the way to this show, Tucker
got a hold of a Blue Ball Point
Pen. I heard someone say OH NO,
Mom you got to see Tucker.
Yep, He had Blue Ink All Over his
face, chest and feet. I am so glad
we had wet wipes with us.
We were very patriotic that 4th of

Tuck spoiled us in that he finished very quickly all
things considered. His first show was the end of
June 2004 and he finished the beginning of May 2005.

We decided since he was so young and we had
Presley to show we would just let him lay low for
awhile going to shows as Presley's travel companion.

Summer 2006 we were talking with some friends and
after hearing their opinion decided that we would
enter Tucker in a couple of shows as a Special and
see what happened.

He showed us that he still had a few "Dreams" to
share. We were so proud when he won
Best of Opposite Sex
as the entries in this show were of such nice quality.

A couple of weeks later in Topeka Tucker took
Best of Breed 2 out of 4 days again with an
impressive entry.
A bit of Trivia:
The tri with his front feet up on the lady in
the blue suit is Presley's daddy, Bentley.
