Yankee

Meet Yankee. Yankee is from the Tiger x Darbi litter of 2006.

If you look closely, you can see where he got his name. Yankee's collar was red/white/blue, so it was an easy choice to call him Yankee from birth. Just like Dottie, Yankee's owners decided the name fit and he is known as Yankee to this day.
In my litter notes, I described Yankee as:
-friendly
-curious
-1st puppy to come when called and 1st puppy to climb out of whelping box
-outgoing
-LOVES people

Yankee is still all these things and more.

Yankee was chosen as "pick" male from the litter and was flown to his new home in Ohio at 8 weeks of age. He was raised by his owners Sean & Sherree and sent off to Basics training with Bruce Curtis at around 6 months. Yankee did not run any Derbies and spent a year with Bruce in Texas & Wisconsin.

Yankee is now in training with Joe & Scott Harp and he is doing really well. In his FIRST field trial, he finished with a 3rd in the Qualifying. He WON a Qualifying shortly thereafter in Kentucky. Yankee is now in training to make his All-Age debut later this fall or winter. We have REALLY enjoyed following his career thus far and I have enjoyed the friendship I have formed with Sean and Sherree.

He looks EXACTLY like his mother.

Yankee now...
