Originally from Perry, Oklahoma, this farmer grew up with all kinds of animals.  Pigs, cattle, horses, dogs and cats are among some of the animals roaming his family's ranch.  Presley was his first ‘in house’ dog.  Neither Travis or Presley had formal training until their appearance on Greatest American Dog.

He received a bachelors degree from Oklahoma State University in Agricultural Communications and Public Relations with a minor in Theatre.  After college he moved from the ranch to the beach to pursue his acting career.  

Presley loves to play non-stop like most boxers.  Before the show Presley could only sit, stay and back up.  After being on the show he is now able to

Rollover, Crawl, Touch things w/paw & w/nose, Fetch, Speak inside/outside voices, Go around things, Under, Jump, Stand, Dance, Nudge, Shake left & right paw, High five, Play dead, Catch a Frisbee, Weave in/out of legs,

Presley is currently 2 years old, and nearly 60lbs.  He has a brindled coat, and on some days, it looks like he glows.
