Arizona Ridgeback Breeder - CopperRidge Ridgebacks introduces another Champion!

Thursday, September 24th, 2009

Lin and Bob Hainlen of CopperRidge Ridgebacks are proud to introduce their newest Champion - CH CopperRidge Caliente, CGC - Sebastian. He is co-owned and handled by Kathy Richards (Stredney). Kathy has been handling Sebastian since his first show at six months of age in Prescott, Arizona. And, ironically, he earned his championship at the very same show 2 years later with a 4 Point Major win - thanks to Judge Norman L Patton! Having never participated in conformation events prior to owning Sebastian, this accomplishment is all the more sweeter for Kathy and even more exciting for Lin and Bob!

Sebastian earned his first 4 point major win at the prestigious Inland Empire Hound Specialty when he was only 11 months old. He earn his champion status with 4 - 4 point majors and a 2 point win! Outstanding for this owner/handled team!!!

New Champion Crowned at Kachina Dog Show

Monday, April 6th, 2009

Breeder/Owner/Handler, Kathryn Blumenfeld-Jones (KaKily Ridgebacks) and Dina (CH KaKily Starry Night of Pumamere-Coprdg, JC RN) pulled off a “three-peat” by winning Best Opposite Sex all three days of the ARRC/Kachina Dog Shows at the University of Phoenix Stadium. This was a new venue for these shows and it was a nice change of pace considering it was very windy over the weekend. There were a lot of out of state entries which made for a very competitive field.

jessiechampionpic11 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!!

Our “new to the ring” Kazi (Primetime CopperRidge Star Kissed, JC) did another fantastic job in a very competitive ring placing third in Open Class on Sunday. Aura did a great job, as always, showing Kazi.

Two of the Kirbi x Zag puppies, Chase and Cassidy, made their show ring debut in the Bred by Exhibitor classes. They both earned ribbons in one of the toughest classes. They are both off to a GREAT start in their show careers!

Good luck to Kathy and Sebastian, Tammy and Jessie, Donald and Shaka, and Kathryn and Dina, as they drive off to California to compete in the Orange Coast RR Specialty and the Western Hound Specialty. We are hoping for some BIG WINS this weekend.

Scottsdale Ridgeback Breeder, CopperRidge, victorious at Scottsdale Dog Shows

Tuesday, March 3rd, 2009

What a great weekend at the Scottsdale dog shows. The weather was great and the competition in the Ridgeback ring was fierce! There were so many wonderful dogs in attendance - the judges had their work cut out for them. The #1 Ridgeback, Ikaika, was there as well as a lot of other “out of state” dogs who made the trip to this show.

Friday was a GREAT day for Breeder/Owner/Handlers, Donald and Kathryn Blumenfeld-Jones of KaKily Ridgebacks. Shaka (CH KaKily Shockwave of Pumamere-Coprdg, JC RN) , being expertly shown by Donald as always, won Best of Breed and Dina (CH KaKily Starry Night of Pumamere-Coprdg, JC RN) won Best Opposite Sex with Kathryn. What great wins for both of them! Dina went on to win BOS on Saturday and Sunday as well.

Monday was a banner CopperRidge Day! Not only did Coby strut his stuff in the Veteran class to resounding ringside applause, but his offspring were victorious in their classes. Sebastian (a Coby grandson) was awarded Best of Winner’s and a 4 point major. Jessie (a Coby granddaughter) received Winner’s Bitch honors and a 4 point major. Dina (a Coby daughter) won BEST OF BREED. Way to go!!! We are so PROUD of our owner-handler, Kathy Richards (with Sebastian) and Breeder/Owner /Handler Kathryn Blumenfeld-Jones (with Dina)!

New to the ring this weekend was Kazi, a sister to our girl Kirbi. Our daughter Aura showed Kazi and she looked like an old pro. Aura also showed Kibo (littermate to Sebastian and Jessie) all weekend and he looked great! Kibo was awarded Reserve Winner’s Dog on Friday - good job Kibo!

We want to thank ALL of our puppy-people who came out on Sunday to watch Coby in Veteran Class and help us celebrate his 10th birthday. We really appreciate all of your support and we are looking forward to seeing our “up and coming” puppies in the ring very soon!!!

Next show will be in Tucson - March 21 and 22. We are keeping our fingers crossed for Sebastian and Jessie. They may be our new champions - Sebastian only needs 1 more point and Jessie needs just 3.
