In September 2006, Tweed competed at the USBCHA National Nursery Finals and as well as placing 11th in the first round, he was also awarded the prestigious Ralph Pulfer Memorial Award for the "Most Promising Young Dog". 

Hips are Cornell rated good.  His eyes are clear and DNA CEA Normal.

The first Tweed x Bess cross produced my Gabe, Victoria Wilcox's Russell and Charlie Hurt's Lou - who are all keen and working very well on stock. The second cross produced Karen Karkow's Moss and Rebecca Shouse's Sam and both are showing tons of promise.
