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?

The show was great fun and Samson was in rare form and very animated in the show ring. He was blessed with a BIMBS win under Judge Debbie Orwin and RBIMBS under Judge George Warner. He also won a Champion class under Judge Rebecca Harris, Reserve Champion under Judge Nina Marie Sherrer and Al Orwin. A huge thank you goes out to all the Judges who honoured Samson this week-end.
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.
