This was a good weekend for Strider and his kids! Today, in Northern California at the Camellia Capital Kennel Club show, under judge Christina Hubbell, Ch. Rohan's Reward TC, CGC, HT,CD,RE,CHIC was awarded Best of Breed #74 and went on to a Herding Group 4th. His daughter, Jezra's C-R Zahara of Showboat (Stella) was Winner's Bitch, Best of Winners and Best of Opposite Sex from the American bred class. His son, Scherzar's Son of a Witch (Merlin) won his 12-18 class and was moved up in winners. This is all following yesterday's brag on the list by Bobbie Kindy, when another on of Strider's kids, Winterhawk's Breakfast at Rohan (Zeva) was WB, BOW, BOS & BP from the 9-12 class under Gary Newton. One of the best things about the weekend was that Zeva is shown by Jessica Frentz, a junior, and this is her first GSD! Jessica also took Merlin back in today in the winner's class and did a very nice job with him. It is really great to see this young lady wanting to show our breed. She is working very hard to learn everything about handling a GSD and every time you see her, you can just see how much she is learning and putting what she has learned to work. Special thanks to by good friend, Art Sinclair who shows Strider, Stella & Merlin and to Tracy Radigan who grooms and conditions the dogs and is also the other mother to Stella and Merlin!
