EUKANUBA WEEK!
The second week of December is the highlite of our show year here in Central Florida! The Eukanuba National Championship show is in town, along with 3 of our regularly scheduled shows and our own club's Regional Specialty show! We had an AMAZING year this year showing our youngsters! After showing at our National Specialty show back in September, it was officially Duma and Bono's time to come out! Bono showed at the 3 regularly scheduled shows and was Reserve Winner's two of the days and Winner's Dog on the third for his first point! He then showed at our Regional Specialty where we had an entry of 67 and was Best of Opposite Sex in Sweeps and Reserve Winners Dog overall! Then it was Duma's turn, and she also won Best of Opposite Sex in Sweeps and Reserve Winner's Bitch! Duma was entered in Eukanuba and in a huge entry of 56, she was Winner's Bitch, Best of Winners and Best Bred By Exhibitor, earning a 4 pt major! To top it off, our co-owned girl, Tegan, was Winner's Bitch on Thursday for a major win and then had a repeat performance as Winner's Bitch at our Regional Specialty show on Friday, finishing her Championship!! Sharon and I are so very grateful to our judges for these awards! CLOUD 9 for sure!!November Hi-Lights!
Sunday in Ocala was THE BIG DAY, tho! Our handsome boy, Ronin, was entered, and when his regular handler was stuck in another ring, Patrick Mazepink, stepped in and showed him to Best of Winners and a 3 point major! So happy for Ronin's people, Sheila and Robin Soltau and very thankful to Patrick for handling him! One more major to go!!

BO KNOWS WINNING!!
In October, he and his handler, Arvind deBraganca, made the trip to NJ to attend the very prestious Morris & Essex Dog Show, which only happens every 5 years. This is not just a dog show...it's an EVENT! Folks dress up in period costume from the Gatsby era and have a great time with that, too! There was an entry of 56 Ridgebacks this year and we were thrilled beyond belief when Bo won Best of Breed!
Bo is co-owned by Tisha and Colin Farnham and their two sons, and when not out being a pampered show dog...he's the family's best buddy and spends his days, with his buddy, Doza, racing around their 150 acre hydroponic farm here in Florida! What a life he has!
Best of Breed!! Morris & Essex
