Tell us an interesting story or fact about your dog.
Rip has always been somewhat of a child prodigy. He has always from an early age, amazed me at his ability to mark, and pick up the nuances of field trials such as retired birds, running blinds, both land and water. Therefore, Rip won a qualifying before he won his first derby. I feel like Rip is going to be one of those “Once in a Lifetime “type of dogs
