Taycin's Chupanako - Winner of the 1973 Jay Sisler Trophy
In May 1971, Curtis Taylor was stationed at Vandenberg Air Force Base in Lompoc, California. He found a bloody, dirty puppy by the side of the road. He picked it up and tried to find out who lost the little guy. No one claimed him, so Curt took him to a vet and was told that the dog was an Australian Shepherd.
The pup was about 11 months old. Since Curt was being discharged on June 4th he chose that date for the dog's birthday and named him Chupanako. (Greek for 'Little Shepherd.") About two years later Curt met and married Cindy Perron. Their next door neighbor raised and showed German Shepherds, thought that Chuppy was a purebred and suggested that he be shown. He was entered in a fun match and took Best of Breed! Needless to say that victory was pretty exciting! After a couple Best of Breed wins other breeders became interested and it was certified that he was indeed a purebred. Chuppy was registered with the Australian Shepherd Club Of America, (ASCA) with an unknown pedigree. Taycin's Chupanako became the 25th champion of record of all Australian Shepherds to date.
Taycin Kennels was born, "Tay" for Taylor, "Cin" for Cindy.
Cindy gave her Aunt Hugette a Chuppy puppy, "Taycin's Country Bumpkin", aka Tuff Stuff, which proved to be too much for her. Jeanine Perron (Cindy's mom) took him to a show to see if anyone might want him. Instead, she entered him in the show and took Best Of Breed. Guess who was hooked! Ch. Taycin's Country Bumpkin was by Jeanine's side for 15 years. He was the best, producing many great puppies.
