WayToGo Walk This Way (“Tip”)

Originally named “Tyler”, we thought that it sounded too much like “Tycho”. As “Tyler” was also nicknamed “Tippicanoe and Tyler too”, I decided that he should be called “Tippy”, or “Tip”, for short. And so it is.

August 2010:

Tip took back-to-back majors (5 points and 4 points) by earning Winners Dog and Best of Winners at the Three Rivers Papillon Club supported-entry shows in Canfield, Ohio, on August 7-8, 2010. He now has 12 points towards his championship, and is pleased as punch that so many people concede his superiority over all other life forms.

May 2010:

For Mother's Day, Tip finished his NJP title at the Oriole DTC trial with a first place and a blistering run that was 20 seconds under SCT (standard course time). He was the second fastest novice dog, of any size, in the class. On to Open!

April 2010:

Tip earned his first Novice Jumpers Preferred Q in his agility debut on Saturday January 30, 2010, in the teeth of a major snow storm. He earned his second Q on April 11, 2010, at the Capital DTC trial in Westminster, his second time in the ring. So far he's batting 1000 and bringing home only blue ribbons, too!

April 2009:

Tip and Jennie debuted in the "amateur-owner-handler" class at the Wilmington Kennel Club show (Saturday April 25th), and Tip managed to win Reserve Winners dog to a major. Not bad for a first time out!

January 2009:

We entered Tip in the Metropolitan Area Papillon Club's B Match on Sunday January 4th, just to see how he did in the show ring. Tip showed us! He came home with the "Best Puppy in Show" Rosette and a big new dog bed! He had that "I'll show myself, just hand me the winning ribbons" attitude that we are used to seeing in his two brothers.

And lest anyone forget, Tycho did the same thing: winning his puppy sweepstakes and earning a huge rosette and a lovely dog bed when he was young!
