Early
in 1982 I received a
call from Pearl asking
if I would consider
taking Ting
to show for
a year or two.
My response
was yes,
but on a limited basis
due to
other
commitments. From
the minute I laid my
eyes on him I knew he
was indeed, "special".
In May of that
same year Ting
won the
PCA National Specialty
and National Supported
Show and in June, the
Greater
Chicagoland Regional
Specialty.
In limited
showing he captured the
PCA Golden
Butterfly
Award, just as his sire
before him had done.
1983 was in many ways a
repeat performance.
Ting was again
BOB at the PCA National
Specialty and PCA
Supported show.
This time adding
an all-breed Best in
Show to complete the
Specialty weekend. He again was BOB at the GCPC Regional
Specialty.
Besides being a multiple
group and BOB winner,
Ting was a wonderful
easy going companion.
His expression
was soft yet
reflected the “Look of
Eagles’ that I had
only seen once before
– in his great, great
grandsire, Doodles.
Sadly for us, and the
breed, we lost Ting at a
young age while having
his teeth cleaned.
His daughter, Ch.
Josandre’ Fancy
Lady, when bred to her
sire’s half brother,
gave us a lovely tri
puppy dog.
As this youngster
grew up he looked and
acted
more and more like his
grand daddy. And sure enough, Ch. Kvar My Boy Josandre’ became the
breeds eighteenth
Best in Show winner.
