    Hall of Fame Champion Starstruck of Bainbridge, STDsd
    Tyler was a regal dog. As an eight-week-old puppy, he carried himself proudly, strutting like royalty while his littermates tumbled about. As an adult, he had a presence that was respected by the other dogs and he had no need to pick an argument. He always knew he was the benevolent "king" of the pack. His self-appointed responsibility was to keep track of his "kingdom" (everything going on around Bainbridge Farm) from his favorite vantage point on a high bench.
