2010-2011 - Tux earned majors as a puppy with multiple specialty wins. He finished his AKC Champion title the week of his 2nd birthday! He finished his title with his 3rd & 4th majors. 

2013 - Tux completed his Companion Dog title in August 2013 earning qualifying scores in 3 straight trials. Very proud of Tux and his wonderful trainer Janie Bristow. Tux will remain at Camp Bristow to train for hunting tests in the fall.

2013 - In four straight tests, Tux passed and earned his Junior Hunter title! He finished in early October 2013 earning wonderful scores and great comments from the judges. Thank you again to Janie Bristow who has done such a wonderful job with our boy. With this title, Tux earned the GSCA Beauty Brains & Birdsense Award in 2013. 

2014 - Tux returned to the show ring in January and on March 16th completed the requirements for Grand Champion title. He was BOB @ the TarTan Supported Entry on Sat and BOS on Sun earning his 4th & 5th Grand Champion majors! Good boy, Tux!

Tux is now a Specialty Best of Breed winner! In April 2014 Mr Terry Stacy awarded Tux BOB at the GSCA specialty held in Perry, GA! We couldn't be prouder of Tux and Kristyn.

Tux earned his first group placement in late September 2014 and followed up with 2 more placements in mid November before winning back-to-back Group wins in Ocala, FL over Thanksgiving weekend! Very excited with our multiple Group Winning boy. It was right around the same time that Tux completed the requirements for the Bronze level Grand Champion.

Tux lived a good long life and we lost him in the spring of 2023 when we discovered a tumor in his left shoulder. He was "the cutest dog in the world" and I will miss him every day.
