Rev was a long awaited addition to our kennel.  We admired his dam, J Cross' Ms Sippi of Lakeside Catahoulas, for a long time and tried to get a pup off of her a couple of times, but it never seemed to work out.  So when she was bred to Twister, who was the sire of our Punch and Cyclone, we jumped at the chance.  Rev had a lot of circle and stock sense, making him very efficient in the field.  He did not waste energy causing problems, but would stop anything that started to get out of control.   Rev was a long range dog, and he had a hot to medium nose on him.  He was a natural in the hog woods, striking a track and jumping his own hog the first time on the ground.   He was unbelievably soft, with a very sweet temperament.  He was our resident puppy trainer after the loss of Punch.  He took snarks in stride and just keeps doing his job.  Rev had quickly become one of the dogs that we leaned on the most in the day to day operations.  He had a lean build with great conformation and incredible movement.  He earned both his Show Champion and B-Bay champion titles with the NALC, as well as his B-Bay grand champion of champions title, making him a Tri grand champion of champions.  He also had treeing and cow dog champion points.  He was an ABI Canadian Champion, and a UKC Champion.

 

Rev had 21 cow dog champion points, 50 champion points in B-Bay and all the requirements for his HD-B Ch title and had his GR CH HD-B CH title, 26 points in treeing, and 42 points in conformation and all the requirements for his Sh Ch title with the NALC.

Rev was a once in a life time dog.  There is not much else to say about him, other than to quote Craig,

"There is only one Rev."
