Kingsmead WR Matcho Natcho or "Natcho-Man" came to us as a two years
old from Kingsmead Kennels in Powhatan, VA. We picked him up on a
trip to Washington, D.C. Kathy had a conference and the difficulty
of flying a dog prompted us to drive to Washington and "while we were in
the neighborhood" we stopped by and picked him up.
Raised by Alexandria Collard as a kennel dog, Natcho has adjusted to
his new life as a house dog quickly and easily, learning quickly about
treats and toys.
He has proven to be an escape artist, getting over a 4 foot fence and
under most anything. He once escaped from a kennel and was gone for over
a week, finally coming back when the ticks began to annoy him. We found
that he's a houdini, not an einstein.
Natcho has a thing about toys. He will pick one up and carry it around
for days, even weeks. When no one is looking, he will collect all of the
toys in a room, pile them on his cushion and sit there - daring anyone
to take one away. When he won his championship, we bought him a toy, which
he proudly carried all over the show site with the "look what I WON" look.
