Tacoma was grand Victor in 1989 with John Wilcox handling under Betty
Radzevich. He was owned by Sid Gilpin and Denise Collins.
.....................
He was sired by Sel Ch. Woodacres Dakota and out of Mika's Miracle by
Prestige. He had 2 other Littermates, Tirzah and Tennille who were
selects as
well.
And the best part is that the Prestige in his dam's name was Masstana's
Prestige, a GV Impulse son that we sold to Sid and Denise at 4 months.
His
brother, Masstana's Parish, sired our first homebred champion. That was
a
long time ago
It is amazing how it comes back to haunt us all.
We bred the sire of Tacoma, Dakota. There were two brothers and a sister
that did well from that litter. We owned the dam of Dakota, Dragonslayer
and Destiny Dale. Her name was Dale. We gave Dale to Woody Whitaker and
Tedi bred her to Raider a great dog owned by Karen Taylor. When the litter
was born we gave Woody Dakota, and we kept Destiny. Since there was a third
male, we kept him, and Woody got the fourth male and sold him as a pet.
All three of the litter were finished by 14 months and in 1982
Dragonslayer went Reserve Winner's Dog at the national, and then Destiny went
Winner's
Bitch and Select Two. Barbara Amidon judged Bitches that year, and will
be doing our National Specials this year.
In 1989 I was standing outside the ring waiting to go in when John Wilcox
took Tacoma in. Sid was standing with me and asked me, "Do you think this
year he might go Select?" I answered that I felt he could go Select, but
had no idea he would be in contention for Grand Victor. As Tacoma started
to move, I saw a different dog, having a great day, and I quickly felt he
might win it all.
Dakota did some good producing. The Guz was the handler for Dakota. I
handled Destiny and Dragonslayer to their championship, (one of our great
weekends was winning a five point major on both Dragonslayer and Destiny
under Jack Newton, and then the next day two more points on them both at an
all-breed), and while The Guz showed Destiny to Winner's Bitch at the National
in 1982, I showed her to Select number two, right behind Joan Fox's Grand
Victrix. Behind me was Dave Rinke with his bitch who would then go Grand
Victrix. So, I ended up in a Grand Victrix sandwich.
That year The Guz had three champions to show, and had to get off of two
of them to show his other Special, (a Dakota daughter, and one of the H
litter), for Lynn Pike. His bitch did not go Select.
Those two that Jerry did not handle each went number two Select in 1982,
they were Destiny and On Broadway.
Please excuse me the history memories.
It feels like it could have been yesterday. And I am amazed I remember
that stuff. I must be having a good day.
Not that there is anything wrong with that.
