Joann and Tiffany have truly had a one in a million dog. We have never seen him show that we didn't admire him. I had the honor of meeting Alvin in his home environment and he is such a King of his palace. Joann, Tiffany, to you, to Alvin, to all his progeny, a huge THANK YOU from the breed, and a big congratulations on his career finish.
