Jim was one of two surviving puppies from Speckie's first litter. Being the luvbug that he is, he was loved by several of household so he moved back and forth between us.

Shannon and Marcell trained him so well I barely had to do anything when he came back for me to show. Both of his majors and a couple of single points later, He went back to Shannon and Marcell's (with a brief stay at Rex and Amberle's to visit with his brother Christopher) And Marcell added a couple more points until Shannon stole the lead. Two more majors and a New Championship at 19 months old , Jim was Shannon and Marcell's first show champion beagle. He was also ready for a life of leisure.

His championship completed Jim has now moved in with the third family who adores him -- Rex and Amberle where he now spends the days (unless Amberle decides to play at specialing him or takes him to Canada to finish his Canadian Championship) playing with his brother, Christopher, and nephew, Vader. He particularly like to sit with Rex while he plays video games...
