Buzzy is a once in a lifetime dog that is very exciting to own and show! He is an outstanding representative of the Rat Terrier breed with moderate, correct structure/excellent movement/outgoing attitude that exemplifies what the Rat Terrier breed is supposed to be… basically a small-to-medium muscular hunting terrier with the ability and stamina to reduce the population of rodents in an effective and efficient manner.

Buzzy held the #1 Top Ten position for the entire year of 2006 with a moderate show schedule – Buzzy just tended to win BIG, ending the year with the most Rat Terrier Top Ten points accumulated to date in UKC History! I knew with certainty there was that something extra special with Buzzy when he won Best of Breed at all the shows in early April at the UKC Carolina Classic with about 30 Rat Terriers in the ring at each show, starting the year off with a series of well-earned wins in 2006 (65 Best of Breed wins under 46 different judges, 58 Group placements, 6 Best in Multi-Breed show and 6 Reserve BIMBS wins). Buzzy went on to earn an Award of Excellence at both the ARTA National Specialty and at the Top Ten competition held at the UKC Premier in June 2007!

“PRINCE” Our Gift From The Lord. This awesome boy was born January 14th 2006 in the wee hours of the morning. When he was born Gary and Mason were yelling with excitement, telling me THERE HE IS!!! I being more on the serious side, said we don’t know what this pup is yet, it just barely was born. With Excitement in their voices and a sparkle in their eyes they insisted HE WAS PRINCE CASPIAN. Telling me they didn’t need to see if he was a boy, they KNOW he is a boy! Well guess what? It’s A BOY!!! And from the moment he stepped into our world he was Prince. The entire litter was known as the Narnia Kids. Prince Caspian was a special name Mason and Gary had chosen for that special boy from the Narnia books.



Prince, Our bred by boy that became a breeders dream come to true and beyond! He entered the show ring two days after his 6 month birthday taking two BOW. Then the following weekend taking 4 more BOW. A little over 7 months old he entered the ring as a new Champion. Prince picked up 3 legs towards his Grand a BOB, Group One and RBIMBS! The following weekend Prince got his last two legs towards his Grand Champion Title. At this same show he was moved up to the Grand Champion Class. He won 3 BOB’s, Group 1, Group 2 and a Group 3. He didn’t stop there! Prince went on the rest of the show season claiming a Total of 17 BOB, 7 Group Ones, 4 BIMBS and 4 RBIMBS, not to mention several Group 2’s and Group 3’s. Needless to say we were speechless! He earned his Top Ten Status From August 26th – November 26th 2006, three short months. What a Blessing and Honor!



Prince is a sweet loving boy, he loves to show, sleep in the covers, play fetch, eat out on our road trips. You know the Food for CHAMPIONS, chicken Mcnuggets, chicken tenders, french fries, lunchables and cheeseburgers, but above all else Prince Loves us. He has a special green king size blanket we take on our road trips and Prince knows its show time when he sees it out! He loves hunting and playing chase with other dogs. He has a huge heart, a gentle soul, and the desire to please! We Love You Prince!!!



Prince will be in the show ring in 2007, as we feel he has just begun. He has unbelievable structure and balance, his movement is effortless! We are grateful to the Honorable Judges that blessed us with Prince’s wins and saw what we see in him. We would to Thank UKC for the honor of participating in a family oriented fun Club. We are grateful to our Lord for gifting us with Prince and owe Him the Glory.

His very first show he was 9 months old where he took his first Best of Breed & Best in Show. In a short 3 month period he made it on the #9 Top Ten with 127points. With 6 Best in shows & 3 Reserve Best in Show for 2006. What a surprise it has been. The Premier 2007 Echo won 2 BOB out of the 4 shows.

Echo is a joy for me to show. I would love to thank my wife for breeding this wonderful dog. An thank all of the judges that made it possible.
