Congratulations again to all on an amazing career. Tate you derserve all things special and wonderful in your retirement!

I had the honor of seeing you both at the Dallas show, his grandson Storm,(Wilsons Desert Warrior) and I will do our best to fill the pawprints left by his grandfather. What a colorful career he has had. Congrats to you Jay for teaming up with him and reaching for the stars.

Perserverance isn't a long race.
It's a series of short races,
ran one after the other.

You and Tate have had one incredible journey together that ended with a Bang! May you have many happy memories of you and your Bud with all you have been through together. What a fantastic team you two made.

Thank you Jay for being the professional you are. Thank you Tate for being such an outstanding ambassador for the breed. Thanks to his breeders for sharing Tate with us the fancy. It surely has been a pleasure following his career!

Jay - Going to miss seeing those WIN pictures of you two. Congratulations on a nice ending going BIS twice back to back. If there's a way to retire that's gotta be it.

What a way to go out.

Best wishes on your retirement Tate. Hope you find some nice soft grass to lay on.

Tate and Jay - I will miss seeing you post your Tate wins....it must have been a fun ride for you guys. It's alot easier to count the dogs Tate didn't beat than the dogs he did. Jay - it must be hard to let him go - but what a deserving retirement. I hope you guys get to reunite again someday in the veteran classes.

Have fun on the couch Tate!

You've done each other very proud!! Tate should enjoy life on the couch and being a dog now, even though we will all miss him in the ring....
Congratulations on such a wonderful career & Happy retirement!

A formidable pair the 2 of you have made. Having seen Tate win multiple breeds at Specialty and All Breed shows, I have never seen him presented that I didnt feel he was one of the favorites or deserving of the win! I am sure that there are Special owners out there that are sad to see such a Champion leave the competition. When you can beat a dog like Tate you have accomplished something! He will go down as one of the dogs people new to the fancy will wish they had seen in the ring as years pass! Congratulations on a great career!

A huge congratulations and a great big hug for you Jay, Barbara, Karynon and Tate for a very successful show career. We will miss Tate's commanding presence in the ring!

We will sure miss reading about him & seeing his pictures. Maybe you can get a pic of him relaxing & living it up on his throne - That would be neat. lol

Congratulations on making your dreams come true with one incredibly awesome boy.

Sincerly, Kim

A great career! Enjoy your retirement Tate!

You have done such a wonderful job showing Tate and representing this breed. He is truly a deserving dog of all that you two have accomplished. I remember seeing him when he first started showing in the regular classes and thought then what a lovely dog he was. He matured beautifully and is fun to watch show. I love him! He has a confidence about him that easily drew attention. I have had the pleasure of competing with you and you truly are a class act as someone said above. Congratulations on all that you have done thus far and may you have as much fun with his kids as they are starting their careers.

I was so happy to see Tate on his last weekend out! It was nice meeting you also! You both made a great team! Congratulations on everything you have done with him!

It is better to go out on top and still in there winning if you ask me....but it is going to leave quite a hole for you I am sure! You and Tate have travelled a long successful road in just 2 1/2 years...a time you will always look back at and smile, I'm sure!
I bet Barb would let you visit sometimes! LOL
Congrats to all 3 of you and more if I am missing a co owner in there!

Very impressive, Jay! That brought a tear to my eye knowing how hard it will be for you to let him go to his mamma. Tate, in my eyes, is the perfect dog and my all time favorite! Congrats on your accomplishments with him and hope to see you again at a show sometime. Merry Christmas!

May you always remember your joyous ride.

congratulations to you both!! what a team!! i don't know anything about showing, but there are a few people i like to read up on on the board. you are one of them Jay...i think you're an all around "class act", and tops at what you do! you and the dog you happen to be showing, seem to be "one", so in tune together. anyways, congratulations!! Tate, enjoy your retirement gorgeous boy, you did good!

It was a pleasure to watch you in the ring. The two of you together were an unstoppable force. Tate, I hope you enjoy your retirement years!!!

I can only dream of ever having a "BUD" like that and come close to those marks someday. TATE you definitely accomplished much and YOU could not have had a better "BUD". May you both move forward to bigger and better things in your own right. Jay, see you at the shows soon.

Truly a beautiful guy and deserving of all his awards.

to retire with honours, who could ask for more? to be given the chance to prove himself, and be remembered ...and to see him live forever in his offspring... congratulations TATE!!!!, and everyone who made it possible for him to acheive his goals. I'm sure retired life will be enjoying as well!!
