Otis' Story:
Sometimes timing is everything in breeding decisions. Although I have never been one to solicit a bitch for any of my stud dogs I had a "premonition" that Jean Clifford's beautiful bitch "Chatty" should be bred to Ch. Twinroc Max in a Million.
I placed a call to Jean to see how she felt about
that and she said, "I was
going to call you next week about that same thing".*
This was before the PRA test revealed that Max was a carrier. He was
immediately removed from the gene pool. Happily, (and probably luckily)
Otis tested clear. We finalized the details and Max was collected and
shipped overnight express to Jean's vet. Hence Otis' name, Ch. Trailwyn
Overnight Express.
This litter gave us the following successful show dogs. Ch. Trailwyn Mae West, (Mae-Mae) ,Ch. Trailwyn Uotobinpics (Otto), Ch. Trailwyn Odyssey, and of course, Otis himself as my stud fee puppy.
"Mae Mae"
Mae Mae was a multiple group placer and winner, Best
in National Specialty Show winner as well as All Breed Best in Show. Otto
was a multiple Regional Specialty winner as well as a many time Group placer
and Award of Merit winner. Otis who was lightly campaigned was also a
multiple Regional Specialty winner, multi Group Placer, and multiple Award
of Merit winner at Nationals
At the end of 2003, Otis was ranked in both breed points where he
finished
ranked 5th, as well as in all breed points where he finished 7th. His
record was 67 shows winning the Breed 47 times. Not too bad for a "part
time" special.
Now retired from active campaigning, we decided to show Otis at the CWCCA Nationals in 2005 as a veteran. He just turned 7 as hard as that is for me to believe. We are proud to say he won his Veteran Class and went on to win Best In Specialty Show (BISS). We knew he was still fit and show ready at seven. This win confirms that he is still in his absolute prime.
*My take on that was this was a breeding that was meant to take place.
