I realize a lot of people didn't know that, haven't seen him mentioned on any of the dog show narratives, maybe Evan forgot? For those who don't know, Hunter is the son of Kathy and Ken Tank. He is not only one smart kid, but great looking, and talented. I have seen him handle before, and one time in the ring for Juniors. Summer, our junior handler is not going to be able to miss school and family duties, but might be ready next year. She came to class today and we took two of the puppies to work for the first time. They looked great, and one is headed to a new home in Texas tomorrow. Tedi and the buyer are out getting a health certificate. You might see a taller handler than Hunter, you might see a stronger handler than Hunter, you might see a handler with longer legs than Hunter, but you won't see anyone with more talent. I hadn't mentioned him only because I didn't post on the show he was at, and think after Utah, everyone will know him. I thought we lost a great handler on the West Coast when Ken went for his judges license. But it seems we just got a younger version. Evan L.
