Tuubi was the only puppy in a long awaited litter, the last Tris sired. His name 'Be Or Not To Be' is spot on! Rather a miracle he exists at all, and also his name follows the same theme as his sires' (a play by Shakespeare).
I was reluctant to let him go, but still could not keep him myself. Along came this special person who gave Tuubi a perfect home. Thanks, Heidi! Sometimes breeding dogs is especially rewarding; when you not only find the best home for your beloved puppy, but get a friend in the process! :) Luckily I've been blessed with some.
Tuubi has turned out to be a good natured and handsome lad. He passed the BH test with flying colours at 17 months of age. He became an Obedience Champion right after turning 3 years old, and Est ObCh in 2006. Wow :) Tuubi got 2 CC's quite easily and it took only 5 more shows to get that 3rd and thus make him into a Show Champion in September 2007. A dual champion! :) I could not be more proud.
He also shows instinct with the sheep, and has helped at a local farm in the everyday sheepwork while waiting for their kelpie pup to grow up and do the work.
Shockingly, Tuubi's hipscore came back as D-D. :( It's a great shame as Tuubi has very old lines behind him, and is a smashing dog. His elbows are fine, and his movements are lovely; flowing with ease. He was X-rayed again at almost 5 yrs old and result is the same. The vet told to 'keep him fit and he can lead a normal active life'. Good. :)
