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.
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.
