CH T Bar S's Phantom

CH T bar S’s Phantom

Phantom is a seven color patchwork with one blue eye and one amber eye that was born at T bar S Catahoulas on April 21^st, 2007 to Florida Red Wolf’s Cajun Gypsy, OFA good, and BLT’s Black Jack, OFA good.

How did Phantom get his name?  Phantom is a multi colored patchwork.  The left side of his face is black and tan.  The right side of his face is white with black, gray, and red spots.  It looks like he is wearing a mask similar to the Phantom of the Opera.  Phantom seemed to be the obvious choice thus he became T bar S’s Phantom.

Phantom will bay hogs but will not bay with any other dogs.  He was entered in one bay but disqualified.  He has also been shown in Conformation and has the following wins:

Phantom is by far our nicest dog.  He has not met anyone he doesn’t like and loves to give hugs.  Unfortunately he is also our biggest dog.  Phantom likes to walk up to people then stand up on his hind legs and hug them.  We have been training him to stay down unless he’s invited.  We like to call Phantom our Hug-a-Houla.

Phantom turned two and had his OFA X-Rays taken.  He scored fair with OFA.  We intended to breed Lucy and Phantom and planned to wait until Phantom turned two and had his OFA done.  Unfortunately Phantom had other plans he jumped a fence last year and bred Lucy producing one of the nicest litters we’ve ever had.  Phantom and Lucy were bred again and produced another very nice litter.  One of the pups from that litter is in training to be a medical assist/alert dog for an asthma patient.

What is Phantom’s favorite toy?  Phantom will play with a tennis ball but he is not a big toy driven dog.  He does like water and plays in the pool with the other dogs.
