Welcome to Doc's Page
There is no such thing as a perfect human. There is no such thing as a perfect dog. We just accept each other for what we are and shine with the best of our abilities. With that said, I'm going to be as honest as I can about my little ray of sunshine.

Update on Doc: It is with heavy heart that I am writing. We lost our beloved Doc on 07-03-11 due to a long illness that unfortunately went systemic. Doc was our prominant male. He was NKC, UKC and ABRA registered. He was out of Sire, Batman Capdevila's Nightmare and Dam, JC's Brandy Addiction. Some of the well known dogs in his background are his Grandfather, Leatherneck's Lancealot and Great Grandfather, Champion Leatherneck's Tyson.
Doc was an all around nicely-balanced male. It is my belief and that of our brother, Fred that Doc is/was the best structured dog on our yard. He is a producer of Champions and we always felt that any future offspring from Doc would have had a very good chance at succeeding in the show ring. Doc only needed a Best Male to finish as a Champion with the NKC. Unfortunately, he did not like other large males, so we had to be cautious while showing him. Otherwise he was friendly in the ring with the stewards and judges.
Doc was a big boy, yet he was balanced out and moved well. He had a handsome carriage and very defined rear end. If you were a butt man, he was your dog!!! The back end is very important and is what drives the dog. I think this was one of Doc's best features, this along with his awesome kickers (what I call back legs).
Doc started his show career back in 2005. We entered him in Heart of Dixie in Springville, Alabama. He captured 2nd place on Saturday, April 16th and 3rd place on Sunday, April 17th in the Veteran Puppy Class, in his first dog show ever!! He went on to show in several other venues with both the NKC and UKC. He brought home many trophies and ribbons in conformation. He was the beginning of what has become a wonderful, fun hobby for us.
Tommy & Doc's "Best Male" win at the HOD Show
Doc with a 1st Place win at the HOD Show. The class was so large, all of the dogs would not fit in the ring. I was so proud of this win!! There were A LOT of nice dogs there. I think everyone was "stunned" at the fawn dog that won LOL! Too bad my camera was on the blink. Wishing I could have gotten better pics!!
