CopperRidge Ridgebacks – the Premier Arizona Rhodesian Ridgeback breeder, is so excited about the upcoming Rhodesian Ridgeback National Specialty. This year’s Ridgeback National Specialty is being held in Lansing, Michigan May 25th – 31st. Here is why we are so excited – there are going to be three Coby (CH Wyndrunhr Skywalker, JC, HIC, CGC, ROM ) off-spring in the Prestigious Top-Twenty Competition. That is THREE out of the TOP TWENTY RIDGEBACKS in the country were sired by COBY – WHAT AN ACCOMPLISHMENT – we are so proud of our breeding program. And, we are also so VERY, VERY proud of our Breeder/Owner/Handlers Donald and Kathryn Blumenfled-Jones – of KaKily Ridgebacks.
Donald will be handling Shaka (BISS CH Kakily Shockwave of Pumamere-CopperRidge, JC RN). Donald and Shaka are fresh off a BISS win at the Orange Coast Rhodesian Ridgeback Specalty in California. There was an entry of over 90 Ridgebacks! Shaka is currently #7 in Best in Breed Point Standings in 2009.
Kathryn will be handling Dina (CH Kakily Starry Night of Pumamere-CopperRidge, JC RN). Dina is currently the #1 Bitch in the country and is #13 in Best in Breed Point Standings for 2009.
Lastly, CopperRidge’s very own Chris (BISS CH Redawgs Christofel O’CopperRidge, SC, HIC) will be handled by Michele Bohrer. We have known Michele for many years and we are very excited to have her show our boy at the Nationals.
We want to thank all of our puppy-people and all of you who have supported us for all these years. We are sending out “winning wishes” to Donald, Kathyrn and Michele. We are already making plans for next year’s Nationals in Ventura, California.

There were over 90 Ridgebacks entered on Friday and the Judging was handled by Pamela Levander. Best of Breed honors went to Breeder/Owner Donald Blumenfeld-Jones – EXPERTLY handling Shaka (CH Kakily Shockwave of Pumamere-CopperRidge, JC RN) There were 18 dogs entered in Best of Breed class so this was a wonderful win for Donald and Shaka – they looked incredible.
The BIG NEWS was Jessie (CH CopperRidge 100 Degrees in the Shade, JC) won a 5 Point Major to complete her championship – with 4 major wins! She was expertly handled by John Mayhall of Pine, AZ. Congratulations Tammy and Rich Western!!
