CH IRISH'S RUBY J TRUMAN
(Ch. Victor's Ocqueoc Teddybear x Irish's Crowning Glory)
'TRUMAN'
July 27, 1992 - July 2006
Truman was purchased from us by close friend Ron Dunkerson to be a family companion and hunting dog. He had no intention or interest in putting Truman in any dog shows. Then one weekend in January when Truman was still a puppy, Ron and his wife came to a dog show just to watch. As he was watching he says to Gary - "Isn't Truman a whole lot better than most of these dogs here?" Gary told him he was. Well that must have gotten Ron thinking. Truman was entered in his first show a couple of months later at the Detroit Kennel Club where he placed first in his class. He finished that year taking points at 7 shows, reserve winners at 6. Truman was our first Chesapeake to win points at an ACC National Specialty. He went Winners Dog and earned a Judges Award of Merit at the 1993 National at 13 months old from the Open Dog class. Truman was handled to Winners Dog by Gary. We had other dogs for the Best of Breed judging so friend Kathy Perry took Truman in for Best of Breed.
