TIMELESS - Key Persons
Their daughter Kirsten was born in 1994. Following in her father's footsteps, she was brought up in the sport, attending shows every weekend from the moment she was born. At age 6 she showed her first dog….and won. At age 12, Kirsten started spending her summers apprenticing under well-known professional handler, Lois DeMers. Kirsten and Lois travelled the country every summer for six years until Kirsten graduated from High School. Kirsten has now graduated with her Doctorate degree and is enjoying life to the fullest.
Tracy met Kyle in 1992 and they were married in 1993. Kyle had been showing her own dogs (German Shepherds and Pembroke Welsh Corgis) since 1975. When she met Tracy, she was adamant that she wanted to continue going to dog shows, but had no desire to become a professional handler. As sometimes happens, well planned intentions go by the wayside, and Tracy changed Kyle's mind. They have been a handling couple for 20 years.
Kyle served as President of The Chihuahua Club Of America for four years.
Tracy has been involved in the sport of purebred dogs all his life. As a young child, he traveled to the shows with his parents. Tracy's father, Jack Potts, was a full time Professional Hander who then went on in his career to become a well-respected AKC judge licensed to judge all breeds.
Tracy began handling professionally when he was 17 years old. He has campaigned and finished hundreds of AKC champions in all 7 groups.
