CH JBAR'S SEE YA LATER ALLIGATR

May 11, 1995 - Oct 7, 2008

                                   Erica & Gator 1998                                                                              National Specialty 2006 (Gator at 11)

    Gator came to us at 2 years of age. Within 3 days he was Erica's constant companion and has been devoted to her ever since. 

   Gator started his show career with us in 1997 by taking 4 majors in 2 weekends to acquire his AKC championship.  With Erica handling him, he went on to finish #4 in the nation with limited showing.  Because of where we live, and also because Erica is the one that usually shows him, the number of shows we are able to attend is limited.  In spite of that, Gator has consistently placed in the top rankings. 

   Gator has sired 2 AKC National Puppy Sweepstakes Winners, Ch Stormrunners Ice Queen, who won WB/BOW at the 2000 National at the age of 6 months, and her brother, Ch Stormrunners Spellbinder, who won Puppy Sweeps in 2001.  Both have their father's fabulous movement, personality and winning ways.

Gator has qualified for the Eukanuba Classic every year since it started until his retirement.  We took him to the one in Long Beach in 2004 where he took an Award of Merit at the age of 9 yrs.  He was shown by my grandson, Josh, at the 2006 National Specialty in Logan, UT where he won Best Veteran in Sweeps both at the National and the Regional held the day after.  He also won Best Stud Dog for the 3rd time at a National Specialty.  Josh won Best Junior Handler with him.  Gator left us on Oct 7, 2008, but he will always be with us in our hearts.
