Flint is a full brother to Serious and is built just the same. He has the same beautifully balanced body, tight, natural ears, correctly shaped and size of eye (they have blue flecks), and perfect and full dentition. He has a full underjaw, smooth rounded muzzle and melting expression. Flint’s head is a little shorter than I like right now (7 months of age) but I am hoping it will lengthen as he gets older. His sideskulls are very clean and he has no depth. Flint has the most wonderful length and arch of neck that he really shows off in the ring. Flint is very well balanced and really reaches and drives when he moves. He is a joy to watch. Flint will be a busy boy here at Tamaron and already has some pretty little ladies coming to call.
As of the beginning of June, 2001, Flint now has12 Best of Breeds, 6 group placements ( 1 second, 4 thirds, 1 fourth), 7 Puppy Groups, and 1 Best Puppy in Show. At the Red Deer shows held at the beginning of April, Flint (Ch. Tamaron’s Inherit The Wind) debuted in the Junior Puppy class at the age of 7 months. He was RWD the first day and then the next day he was WD, BW, BB and BPIB over 4 Specials under judge Judy Hunt of Calgary. He also made the cut in a large herding group.
At his second show in Saskatoon in May, Flint was again Best of Breed from the JP class, over Specials for 3 points. He then was awarded a group 4th for an extra point and a Puppy Group under judge Terry Carter. On Sunday he was again Best of Breed from the JP class over 4 Specials for 4 points and then was given a group 3 and another Puppy Group for a total of 5 points to finish his championship in style at 7 months!!! The judge that day was Heather Logan. A couple of weeks later, Flint was in his first show as a Special where he took all 6 Best of Breeds, a group 2, 3 group 3’s and 4 Puppy Groups. The judges were Ingeborg James, Anita Carins, Fred Dewsbury and Doug Windsor who gave him group placements and Denise Corneilssen and Leslie Belfit who gave him the other Breed wins. A week after that Flint was in a show in Edmonton where he again took all 3 Best of Breeds and a Best Puppy in Show under judge Doreen Marsh. The other breed judges were Dick Lopaschuck and Don Fitzsimmons. All this and just 9 months and 1 week old! What a great way to debut! Watch for the big blue dog that will steal your heart!
