That majestic shepherd was CH. Campaigner's Gunsmoke, OFA who was bought from
me after he won his Futurity by Jimmy Moses and Fred Migliore. How he got into
Tina's hands I have no idea but I was royally
&*()(**)(_)(_)+) when I saw that years later. I wish I had been asked if I
wanted him back. He produced Champions before he went to her.
Still mad after all these years.
