Travis

Travis (Farlap Tireless) born 29-Oct-04, owned by Jill Harrington,
was from the second litter to be line-bred from the two
litters of Sanctus Ch. Marksbury Quoniam Sanft.

Travis won two Reserve CCs at Championship Shows with classes for Bloodhounds.
His greatest enjoyment came from hunting the clean boot, for which he
competed at The Kennel Club Working Trials for Bloodhounds. 
Travis soon won the Novice Stake in March 2007, at the
Association of Bloodhound Breeders (ABB) Spring trials. 
In the Junior Stakes, in Spring 2009, he came second to his
kennel-mate Justice, and competed in the
Intermediate Stake at Kennel Club Working Trials for Bloodhounds,
run by the Bloodhound Club and ABB.

Sadly the sudden onset of lymphoma, lead to Travis's euthanasia soon after his sixth birthday.
         &nbspSome of his more memorable photos are here.

Although he had the attributes which wanted me to breed him to Jubilant, his breeder
had endorsed his registration.  In correspondence, my ex-wife said she would not lift it until
he had produced satisfactory elbow scores.
Sadly both the daughters of Sanctus that were bred from, had previously had elbow operations. 
Joint problems with Farlap Thoughtful and Tolerant sparked Sam into wanting to avoid perpetuating
this fault in her Farlap breeding.

Hence, Travis had his elbows and hips scored under the BVA scheme.
The elbow score couldn't have been better, 0-0, and the hip score was better than average
for the breed; 4-8.  However, Sam would still not lift the endorsement, and cited
harassment if any further requests were made.
