I can not thank Gary and Debbie Glaspey of Desert High Rat Terriers enough for allowing me to own this wonderful boy. Samson is a happy boy with a delightful personality. He had a big name to live up to and is proving to be worthy of the challenge.
Samson is growing into a stunning example of our breed. God gets the honors for blessing us with this beautiful boy. He has already exceeded my wildest dreams and I feel he will continue to bless us with his presence and personality. I just love this boy. Please enjoy him with me.
At 9 months of age and after only 5 show week-ends Samson has been able to acheive his CH title, his GRCH title, RBIMBS, as well as BIMBS. I feel blessed beyond measure to have this wonderful Dog in my life. As an added bonus, he is a sweet boy who is very happy and playful. What more could anyone ask for?

Sparks, NV Show - July 11 & 12, 2009
This was Samson's first time entering as a Champion. He did a wonderful job competing against the more mature dogs. Judge Joyce Lea-Hanson blessed us with a Champion of Champions win but alas there were only 2 Champions in the ring. Samson gave a valiant effort in the BOB competition but Kindle was strutting her stuff and took the Breed win.
