TYLER’S BIRDDOG RIGG’S
LEGENDARY STATUS CHAMPION
28X CHAMPION
564 CHAMPION POINTS
1 Amateur National Championship
1 Super Major Win

ON HIS 10TH BIRTHDAY A VERY SPECIAL GIFT WAS GIVEN TO A VERY SPECIAL LITTLE BOY. THIS YOUNG MAN WOULD EVENTUALLY TRAIN HIS NEW CHOCOLATE LAB TO SIT, STAY, COME AND HEAL. WHAT HE DIDN’T KNOW WAS THAT HE WAS TRAINING HIM TO EVENTUALLY BECOME A LEGENDARY STATUS CHAMPION IN THE BDC HALL OF FAME. WHAT HE DIDN’T KNOW WHAT THAT HIS STEP DAD WOULD HANDLE THIS DOG TO A BDC NATIONAL AMATEUR CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE!

FOR OWNER TYLER’S LOVE AND HIS FATHER AND HANDLER CHRIS SMITH, IT WAS THEIR CHOCOLATE LAB “RIGGS” THAT WOULD GIVE THEM SOME OF THE BEST MEMORIES IN THE GAME.

TYLER’S BIRDDOG RIGG’S WAS THE PERFECT TOURNAMENT DOG IN THAT HE WOULD RUN FOR ANY STRANGER WHO HAD A GUN AND A WHISTLE. HE HAD A GREAT NOSE AND COVERED THE FIELD LIKE A BLANKET RARELY MISSING A BIRD.

WINNING RUNNER-UP AT THE “WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS” AND NOTCHING TITLES ALL OVER THE COUNTRY RIGGS WOULD MAKE THE TOP 10 RUN-OFF IN ALMOST EVERY SUPER MAJOR HE ATTENDED.  HE WAS A NATURAL.

YOUNG TYLER PROBABLY DIDN’T KNOW HOW LUCKY HE WOULD BE TO GROW UP WITH SUCH A WONDERFUL COMPANION, AND I GUARANTEE HE WILL NEVER FORGET HIS SPECIAL CHOCOLATE LABRADOR RETRIEVER.

“TYLER’S BIRD DOG RIGGS” ENTERS THE BDC HALL OF FAME A LEGENDARY STATUS CHAMPION EARNING 564 LIFETIME CHAMPION POINT’S, CHAMPIONED 28X WITH 1 SUPER MAJOR CHAMPIONSHIP, AND A BDC AMATEUR NATIONAL TITLE.

HE WAS A SPECIAL DOG AND WILL FOREVER BE REMEMBERED.
