Tugnut's Crank

I picked up Crank from good friend, Greg Shipman of Tugnut's in Ohio, in 2002. Crank has always been a favorite dog of mine since he was a pup. "Easily excitable" would be a good term to describe his bursts of energy and to this day still acts like a puppy in many regards with his playful antics. He's one of those dogs that's always happy to see me, whether I've been gone all day or just a few minutes. Life to him, just can't get any better than to be by my side.



Crank is now 6 years old. He's 25" tall at the withers and has weighed a consistant 107lbs for the past 3.5 years running, but came in at 110lbs during this past years annual vet exam. Crank was xrayed at 33 months, clear of DJD...first time to a vets - he remains a healthy, vibrant and durable dog.

Although started late and only shown sporatically throughout the years in conformation, with very little training Crank has done well both in Canada and the U.S. picking up a bunch of 1st place ribbons, few best males and one BIS. Generally Crank has always placed in the top 3 amongst strong competition.....so long as he isn't DQ'd....for ummm...let's just say his spirited nature. His name is Crank...not Creampuff.
