A big Congratulations to Travis ('Juice') and T.J. Bruce ('Spooky')!!

The Father/Son team ran back-to-back and both earned passes at Old Hatchie HRC under judges Jason Christopher and Ronnie Harwell, to reach 1000-pt ('Juice') and 500-pt ('Spooky') milestones together.


Left to right: Jason Christopher, T.J. Bruce and 'Spooky', Travis Bruce and 'Juice', and Ronnie Harwell. Lotta History here!


Travis and 'Juice' on 'honor' for T.J. and 'Spooky' at the 'working bucket'.


Lining-up for the 'blind'.



We are among many who have enjoyed watching this young man develop and to witness the special relationship these guys share with each other, their dogs, and extended 'dog' family.

Thanks for the inspiration you've given many along this great journey. "Dog to the line!"

Congrats to both! Was really great to be at an event and get to see a father being thrilled for his son.

TJ you've done more with Spooky than most will ever do with a dog. Really wished people could have seen Spooky when it was her and Diva and almost no one but TJ had any idea that Spooky might ever make a hunting dog much less a test dog since she was scared of everything that moved, made a sound, or looked odd. You've done tremendous job as you and Spook have grown together. Wow 500 points!
That may be about as neat of a timing deal as it could have been, great job Travis!

thanks ya'll. TJ is one fine dog man, and has grown into one fine man. No way could I get as much done, or want to do it, without him. Having your training partner, hunting buddy, business partner, also be your best friend and your kid is well, by far the most special thing Ive ever seen. Every trip to the field a hunt or a test is special, we got home sunday and our sides hurt from laughing so much. And that's a sunday afternoon regular feeling for us!
randy thanks for the awesome pics. See ya'll Friday. Da Juice is test dog for your flight randy, with 15 year old handler chris payne making his test debut! Ought to be a large time! travis

Congrats to both of you Travis & TJ. Travis , this might warrant a blanket for TJ all his own.
