Have you met Terry Hower's grandson Travis? I had the pleasure of meeting this
young man at the Duluth, MN shows last weekend. Travis has just turned 18
and will be starting his senior year of high school. He grew up working with
Terry and was assisting Kent in Duluth. At a time when we talk about so many
of
us getting older, and wondering where the young folks are, it is a special
pleasure to meet someone like Travis! For three days, I watched him run to and
fro with dogs and leashes. He fit right in with clients, and everyone remarked
how much they liked him. On Sunday, I got a closer look at Travis' potential.
Kent and Liz both tried, unsuccessfully, to stack my unruly 4 mo puppy Karla.
She just wasn't having any of that! Then Travis asked to try. He walked her
five steps and stacked her. No problem. You know that look you see sometimes
when the handler and the dog make eye contact for a second that communicates
something like, 'I love you and I trust you'? That's the way Travis
communicated with the dogs. I sure am looking forward to seeing him come along
in our breed! What a breath of fresh air!
