Tennessee, produced all colors and brought his intense breed type to chin in all colors. His face is forever in our minds and sets a standard for all to follow.
Bred by Rebecca Franklin, sired by CH.Hoshi *ROM* owned by the late Geraldine Craddock, Tennessee was purchased as a young puppy by Pat Farmer & Bob Kennedy. In co-ownership with Dale & Jane Martenson he was finished, specialed, and lived as their companion his entire life.
