Strider is a very athletic boy with excellent balance and dexterity! He has nice round bone, beautiful deep chest, pretty feet, excellent pigmentation, excellent front, equal length upper arm and shoulder, beautiful flowing side movement, exceptional temperament & personality, and a very pretty head piece. He is a real mushy lover boy that just melts into you.

Strider started his show career with a MAJOR WIN his first weekend out at 6 Months & 5 days old! Two weeks later he took BEST JR IN SWEEPS at the Dalmatian Organization of Tulsa Specialty under breeder judge Shelia Wymore and RWD to a 4 point Major the same weekend. In limited showing as a young pup, he had 3 Major Reserves (two on Specialty weekends) to his credit and has several WD/BOW wins. Strider takes Back-to-back MAJORS from BBE class at the Seminole Kennel Club Shows in Shawnee, OK! Strider finishes his Championship at the Kansas City shows!
