Chris son, Leo, wins Best of Breed at Canadian National Specialty

Thursday, April 14th, 2011

Since our last blog, a lot of exciting news has taken place! Probably the most exciting news just came on April 9th from Canada. Leo, GCH RedSkyes Catch A Fire, won Best of Breed at the Rhodesian Ridgeback Club of Canada National Specialty with a record entry of 100 dogs. We could not be more thrilled and what an accomplishment! Congratulations to our dear friends Nancy Brandewie, Linda Cannon and Debra Driza of RedSkyes who bred their lovely girl Sunni to our boy Chris.

On the local show dog scene, we have other Chris kids making the winners circle! Congratulations to Rae, CH CopperRidge One in a Million, for getting her Grand Champion title and winning 5 Best of Breed titles so far this year! Chris also has two new Champion kids, Leo, CH CopperRidge One Lucky Lion, and Haley, CH CopperRidge One Fell Swoop. Congrats to owners David Reicher (Leo) and Jaimie and Stephen Hovenac (Haley).

Another Chris kid from the Hannah litter, Shani, CopperRidge One Beautiful Sunshine, took winners on two of the days at the recent Phoenix shows and she currently needs just one more point to finish her championship!

Let’s not forget our founding father, Coby, and his kids! From the first breeding with Zephyr, CH Kwetu’s Zephyr Xprs To Sunsweet, we have another champion – Juji, CH Sunweet Ntombi Juji.

Zoey - Best of Opposite and New Champion

And then from the repeat breeding, we have that litter’s first champion - Zoey, CH Sunweet Breath of Zephyr. She went Best of Opp at the TX Combined Specialty and then the next day, went Best of Breed and a Group 3! OUTSTANDING for this ONE YEAR OLD girl! Congrats to breeder Sue Gatto.

Other CopperRidge dogs were very successful at the recent Kachina/Arrowhead Cluster April 7-11. Palmer, CopperRidge the Nineteenth Hole, went Best of Winners on Thursday, Reserve on Friday, Winner’s Dog on Saturday and then Best of Winners on Sunday to cinch his championship with three 5 point majors all before his 1st birthday on Monday and ALL FROM THE 9-12 month class! OUTSTANDING!

On Sunday, Sydney, RedSkyes-Maijani CopperRidge Venus, took Winners for her first 4 point major and Keegan, Sunsweet CopperRidge Skywalkers Last Dance, took Reserve Winners – both from the 12-18 month class! Way to go to our little girls!!!!

We also had class winners and placements from some of the new dogs in the ring – Duke, Kilmer, Apollo, and Nala. We are also very excited to see some of our owners showing their dogs and doing well in the ring! So proud of all of them.

Thanks to all of our dog owners who came to the shows and supported us! We are blessed to have such a wonderful extended dog family – thank you!

Arizona Rhodesian Ridgeback breeder, CopperRidge, has 3 dogs in TOP 20 at Nationals

Monday, April 27th, 2009

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.
