"Tiger" was bred and owned by Claudia Orlandi & Claire 'Kitty'. Steidel.  In 2013, we welcomed his new co-owner, Suzanne "Sukey" Shor, Blossomhil's Bassets.

Tiger's great career began by going Best in Futurity at the 2010 BHCA National Specialty with Bryan Martin Handling.  Bryan showed Tiger as a special until he retired from handling in 2013. 

Mike took over handling duties when Bryan retired and  Tiger continued his winning ways. 

 

He was Best of Breed at the 2013 Basset Hound Club of America National Specialty.   We look forward to 2014.  Tiger's wins in 2014 included 3 Bests in Show, 5 Reserve Bests in Show and 24 Hound Group 1's.
