     We knew that one day we would breed our own dogs but we were never in a hurry.  There are so many things that needed to be considered before breeding.  Health checks, OFA screening, CERF exams and family histories tucked away in pedigrees.  We were so lucky to find a good mentor who helped us along the way.  Not only that but the Aussie people in Texas gave us loads of help in selecting and screening potential sires.  But the ultimate decision was ours and what we found in Cruiser was exactly what we were looking for.
    The end result was everything that we've hoped for.  Tony is active and taking on the world.  He seems to be headed in the right direction.  In his first AKC show, at six months of age, Tony won Reserve Winners Dog at the Bee-Tex KC show.  He's never looked back with a stellar showing at the ASCA Nationals in Wisconsin and Georgia.  He's also tearing up Texas AKC shows.  We hope the judges feel he's a dog they can't refuse. 
     But his biggest wins were in ASCA, where he finished with four major wins.  Tony is also an International Champion all done in three shows with three V-1 ratings.  His UKC career is also looking up.  At his second UKC outing he won Best Of Breed/Group 1 at three back-to-back shows.  At one of the three shows he was selected as the Best In Show.  We're still grinning like idiots over that win.
    Tony finally caught that elusive AKC Major in San Marcos, TX. and he did it the hard way.  The major in dogs broke ringside, but the bitch major held on.  Tony finished with a BOW/BOS win and a four point major.  Look out world.  Tony will be 'Specialed' here in Texas.  All of Tony's AKC points were won from the "Bred By Exhibitor" class.  Maybe we should try the Eukanuba Classic.
    Tony has a picture page to chronicle his life and give you a glimpse of the show dogs life.
