Arizona Rhodesian Ridgeback Breeder, CopperRidge, has a winning weekend!

Tuesday, March 9th, 2010

Scottsdale, Arizona Ridgeback Breeder, CopperRidge, had a winning weekend at the recent dog shows held at WestWorld.  The “Fiesta Cluster” might have been cut short by rain (Monday was canceled due to a flooded field) but that did not shorten the wins by the CopperRidge dogs!

Friday and Saturday shows were sponsored by the Scottsdale Dog Fancier Association.  Judge James G. Reynolds awarded Chase, CopperRidge KZ Out of Africa, Best of Winners from the 12-18 month class.  This is Chase’s first 4 point major win.  Congratulations to owners Bonnie and Patrick Evans!  Chase was expertly handled by Memo Guillermo.

Saturday was even more exciting.  Haley, CopperRidge One Fell Swoop, went Best of Winners (from the American Bred class) and then Best of Opposite Sex under Judge Dr. Robert D. Smith.  This is only the second day in the show ring for this beautiful girl and she won over 6 Championed bitches in the specials ring.  OUTSTANDING!  A huge congratulations goes out to her owners Jaimie and Steve Hovanec.

On Sunday, we had another major win.  Shumba, CopperRidge KZ Jock of the Bushveld, went Winner’s Dog from the Bred By Exhibitor class for his SECOND 4 point major win - thanks to Judge Karen Wilson.  Shumba now has 2 major wins under his belt as well as 8 total points.  He is over 1/2 way to his championship already!!  Congrats to Tara Sissel and Bruno Teixeira !

Monday we were all disappointed.  It had rained all day Sunday which left the polo field at WestWorld under inches of water.  We were all on a roll and more winning was yet to be had!

************************************************************************************************

In some out-of-state news, Sahara, CopperRidge Desert Rose of Lionlamb, went Best in Puppy Sweeps at the Rockland County NY RRCUS supported show in February.  Congratulations to her owner/handler Susan Pisarri!

Fantastic News from the AKC/Eukanuba National Championship Dog Show

Tuesday, December 15th, 2009

Arizona Ridgeback Breeders KaKily Ridgebacks and CopperRidge Ridgebacks have some AMAZING news from the show ring at the AKC/Eukanuba National Championship Dog Show. This is one of the most prestigious dogs shows second only to Westminster and the Ridgeback National Specialty! Our very own dear friend Kathryn Blumenfeld-Jones (owner/breeder/handler) beat out a national entry of over 50 dogs to earn the title of Best of Breed with Dina, CH KaKily Starry Night of Pumamere-Coprdg, JC RA. Kathryn and Dina looked unbelievably outstanding in the ring and Dina beat out the #1 Ridgeback in the country and many other top ten dogs! Dina is only the second bitch in the breed history to win Best of Breed at Eukanuaba.

They were also awarded Best Bred by Exibitor for the third year in a row!!

All of us at CopperRidge Ridgebacks can not be any prouder! Kathryn has handled Dina from the very beginning and she has been very successful as a owner/breeder/handler in a “professional handler” arena. Dina was the breeding of Kathryn’s bitch, Pumamere’s Endelea Duara, to CopperRidge’s Coby, Am/Int CH Wyndrunhr Skywalker, JC CGC ROM. We are so happy that Kathryn and Donald chose to breed their lovely bitch to Coby and we are so happy for all their success with Dina and Shaka!

Shaka, BISS CH KaKily Shockwave of Pumamere-Coprdg, JC RN, by the way didn’t do too bad either. Donald Blumenfeld-Jones (owner/breeder/handler) made the first cut which is a wonderful accomplishment in and of itself! Both dogs are in the top 20 for the year - all owner/handled!!! WAY TO GO!
