They didn't have one. Connie said that they had a Pretty Boy littermate bred to Calvin Klein.
Calvin was only twenty something in the nation at that time, but we knew he would become the #1 Bulldog in the nation one day and he did!!! Not only did he become number one, but he also won Best of Breed at Eukanuba!!!! We got Nike at 10 weeks old. We were trying to make the decision to go to pick him up the day or so after Christmas. We knew we would have to drive in the snow and we were a little apprehensive about making the trip. We asked for a sign. I had cleaned closets the day before and had a bag of garbage. My son came through on his bicycle and ran into the garbage bag. A bank envelope fell out of the bag.
It was from a bank we had not done business with in ten years and inside the envelope was $200.00. Pretty good sign, huh?!? Anyway, we made the trip and the rest is history.
His sire was Calvin Klein who had a littermate named Tommy Hilfiger. His grandsire's
name is Ralph Lauren. My son said that Nike was a good enough designer name for our family, so we named him Nike.
Nike was our first champion. He loved going to the shows, but he didn't care for the showring. He just wanted to sit in a chair and let everybody pet him. He was the most laid back dog you could imagine. We loved him dearly. Sadly, he passed away in July of 2006. It left a hole in our hearts that can't be filled. To this date he has sired seven champions and there are still more competing in the ring.
Rest in peace, Nike. See you again someday, buddy!!!
