Legacy Dogs
Some dogs do more than leave paw prints—they leave a legacy.
Our Legacy Dogs are the remarkable companions whose hearts, heritage, and influence helped shape the foundation of Tipsy Rabbit. Whether through the next generation of TopPups, the values they inspired, or the countless memories they gave us, their impact continues to be felt every single day.
Though their breeding careers may be behind them, their stories are far from over. They remain cherished family members, beloved companions, and an enduring reminder that today's heritage was built one extraordinary dog at a time.
“Dogs come into our lives to teach us about love, they depart to teach us about loss. A new dog never replaces an old dog. It merely expands the heart.”

Tex — Fortitude, Spirit, & Heart
Tex was our first GSP—the one who started it all. He came into our lives at full speed and never slowed down, completing our family in ways we never could have imagined. A natural retriever with endless endurance, Tex excelled at long-distance running and took every command to heart. Yet, at the end of the day, he was simply a bundle of GSP love, always ready to snuggle after a hard day’s work.
Tex lived and loved BIG, and far too soon, he crossed the Rainbow Bridge. If love alone could have saved him, he would have lived forever.
But his spirit, heart, and fortitude live on in the next generation—pups who carry his fire and unwavering drive into the future. Tex is a half-sibling to our boy Maverick, a bond that makes watching Maverick's journey all the more meaningful as he carries a piece of Tex’s legacy forward.
