Hi Gator! I also adopted a Beagle mix, very shy and didn't bark from TBBR about 6 years ago. I changed his name to Gator! It took a lot of love and patience to help him trust and not be so skiddish. Gator is now almost 11 and is doing well living in Michigan with another adopted Beagle mix puppy that he is "training"! Good luck with the contest, you sound like a very special guy with the same name as my special guy! Love, Suzette, Gator and Ripp
