Mike Stone took over handling duties on Tiger when Bryan retired in 2013. In 2013 Tiger was the Number 8 Hound, All Breed, had 4 Bests in Show, 23 Group 1's.  Tiger was the 2013 Basset Hound Club of America National Specialty Best of Breed Winner.    

2014 was another great year for Tiger.  He ended the year # 5 Hound, All Breed, and again was Number 1 Basset Hound Breed & All Breed.  He had 3 Bests In Show and 24 Group 1's. 

Tiger now resides in Arizona with Kitty Steidel and her husband.  Thank you Tiger for some great memories!
