Tory

Stud Information

Tory (short for Justamere Aviator) earned his Junior Hunter (JH) title with judges complimenting him on his nice work. One of our training partners commented that Tory makes the ground shake when he explodes from the line! He was preparing for Senior Hunter competition when he tore a cruciate ligament. After a year off, he started back into training - and is loving it!

Now he's burning up the Rally-O ring - earning his titles in straight passes - including plenty of ribbons! He's also earned his CD title in the obedience ring and passed the Canine Good Citizen test at the tender age of 10 months. 

And Tory got to attend the 2004 LRC National Specialty where he earned a Conformation Certificate. Breeder-judge, Barbara Holl, said that he had a "good overall outline [with] lovely feet and bone." 

Tory loves to retrieve. At 5 months he thought pigeons were nice to retrieve, but not much more than a mouthful. Ducks are lots more fun!

Tory loves the water, especially when there is a high bank so he can make a big water entry. Here he found a shallow spot during a water mark at Indian Meadows.

Casually surveying his "kingdom" - Tory playing in a 6-foot drift after our April 2005 blizzard. One day we had snow falling sideways, fierce winds, and no electricity. The next day dawned sunny, gorgeous and 50+ degrees - welcome to Colorado in the springtime!

Tory had a great weekend at the Denver Cluster shows in February 2006. He received:

• A qualifying score in Novice obedience to finish his CD title (just missing the ribbons by ½ point).
• Two qualifying scores in Rally Advanced to finish his RA title with a 2^nd and a 4^th place (winning a latte mug and a candleholder).
• Two qualifying scores in Rally Excellent toward his RE title.
• Two medals for finishing two titles.

Tory LOVES the Rally ring - here he shows his happy face and tail (well, you can't see it, but it's wagging hard) as he works on a double qualifying score in Rally Advanced and Excellent. Thanks to Carolyn Tremer for the photo!
