April 24, 2010 Miss Hazel makes the big journey south where she is the beloved new pet to Alan.  Best wishes to them both in all future ventures!!!

And we have heard that Cajen's son Brinks has been doing excellently in Oregon with his owner Cyndi and the two of them have done both a herding clinic as well as a tracking clinic, and have done very very well in their classes!!!  We're very pleased to hear that Brinks sounds like a quick study and has been very versatile!!!

April 16-18th, 2010  Onyxgold Rottweilers once again had a great showing on both sides of the border.
Here in Edmonton, Dealer has a HAT TRICK weekend with a very large entry of 18 rottweilers winning BEST OF BREED all weekend long!!!!  Abby got nothing but better as the weekend progressed, initially taking second place out of three 12-18 month bitches on Friday, winning the class on Saturday, and winning her class as well as WINNERS BITCH and BEST OF WINNERS on Sunday for a 4 point win to finish her CHAMPIONSHIP.  Abby is another first for Onyxgold Rottweilers given that she was totally and completely owner/breeder handled to every point of her championship!!!! Abby as well finished her championship in a total of 2 weekends out!! Our thanks and appreciation to Sherry for allowing us to show Caper's son Lennox this weekend as well.  Lennox showed very well for me but just isn't as mature as some of the other boys are !! 

At the Moses Lake Washington show on April 17 and 18th, Cajen's daughter Jewel was owner/breeder handled by Cynthia Ellis to another 2 AKC points as she took Winner's bitch both days!!!  Congratulations!!!!

 

MARCH:

March 27 & 28, 2010 at the Peninsula Kennel Club show in Bremerton Washington Cajen's kids owned by Cynthia Ellis did very well.  Cajen's son Bootes won the 12-18 month class both days, while her daughter Jewel won the 12-18 month bitch class both days taking reserve winners bitch under Judge Roger Hartinger; and won winner's bitch under Judge Donna Buxton for her first US points!!!  Congratulations Cynthia!!

March 27-29, 2010 at the Battle River Canine Association show in Camrose, AB Dealer well exceeded our expectations, taking Best of Breed and a Group 4 placement in a tough working group under Judge Lowell Davis on Sunday, and winning Best of Breed under Judge Margaret Jones on Monday.  According to the Best Dog in Canada statistics, this ONE show weekend puts Dealer as the #4 rottweiler in Canada (all breed) and the #1 rottweiler bitch in Canada (all breed).  Given that Dealer is so young at only 15 months old, she has definitely far exceeded my expectations as she will only be shown sporadically this year as she has much maturing to do!!
