Torro, Cali and I hoofed it up to Rhode Island for the Rhodesian Ridgeback National Specialty. We brought home some pretty ribbons– Cali qualified and was 2nd in Master Standard agility and Torro completed, for the second time, the Endurance trial, earning himself the ET2 title.
It’s been a pretty busy show year– Torro and I have been on the road showing a fair amount and I’m still trying to squeeze in agility trials here and there. We’ve had a fun year so far some really nice breed wins, several Owner-Handled Group placements and on June 6th, Torro was awarded a

I’m quite late updating, but Torro and I earned an invitation to the AKC National Owner-handler Series final at Eukanuba (he finished as the 7th ranked Rhodesian Ridgeback for the 2014 qualifying period).

Last year on facebook, I posted a dog year in review and goals. So, here we go again….in 2013 I made my goals very focused on titles I was looking for the dogs to earn. I wanted Cali to earn her Master Agility Championship (MACH) and complete the RRCUS endurance trial (a 12 mile run
