Tipper finished handily as a puppy on one coat from the bred-by class with four bests-of-breed, and two group place-ments. He is the eleventh champion for his dam and the fourteenth for his sire. He was shown to his championship by his co-breeder and co-owner Cheryl Coffman. Specialed sparingly on two coats he won numerous additional bests-of-breed and group placements including two G1's and is currently the #15 ranked Miniature Schnauzer.
