Tick is now almost a year old, and has grown up to look very much like her mom, Revlon.  But that's where the similarities end.  Anything but a "princess", she is bold, brazen, spoiled hopelessly rotten, and at times, totally obnoxious!  This must be due in part to her being a "singleton".   Yet I wouldn't trade her personality for the world.  She is a dream to hunt;   focused & intense.  Her incredible flexibility and drive enable her to negotiate about any earth, slipping through almost effortlessly.  She has already earned 2 Natural Hunting Certificates while still a pup.

Her puppy career in the conformation ring has also been very successful;  like her mom, she has always won her class and has gone on to several Best Puppy Bitch & Reserve Puppy Championships.  A remarkable accomplishment for a smooth bitch.   It's almost too much to hope that she'll enjoy the same level of success that Revlon did, but only time will tell.

Although she's only been raced lightly, she's been Puppy Racing Champion in both of her 2 starts.  But at only 13", an adult career is going to be tough at best.

With her tightly linebred pedigree, Tick should be an extremely important part of the breeding program, as type is set, along with all the other qualities I value so much in this line.  But for now, she has plenty of time to grow up and continue to enjoy hunting, showing and racing.
