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!
